'''Hunting''' is a side mission and feature in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] available to [[Trevor Philips]] from the [[Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness]] in [[Blaine County]] after completing the &quot;[[Fair Game]]&quot; mission for [[Cletus Ewing]] and only between sunrise and sunset. After arriving at the [[Journey]] in Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness, Trevor will be equipped with the animal call device given to him by Cletus during Fair Game, will be given unlimited ammunition for a [[Sniper Rifle|sniper rifle]], a [[Blazer]] to move around the area and camouflage clothing.<br />
<br />
==Mechanics==<br />
The player can locate animals in the area by using the animal call with dots appearing on the [[radar]] to show their location. A red circle will appear around the dot, which is the area where the animals will spot Trevor and run away. The player must also remain downwind of animals to avoid being smelt, which also results in the animals running away. Toward sunset, Trevor will receive a text message from Cletus warning him of the time and will receive a futher text message at sunset. After killing an animal, the player must photograph the animal and text the image to Cletus who will give different amounts of money depending on the type of animal and type of wound with headshots, neck shots and heart shots earn the most money. Cougars appear more frequently while hunting and can be seen as a dot on the radar and, if allowed to approach Trevor will kill him unless using Trevor's [[Special Abilities|special ability]], which allows him to survive the attack and kill the cougar afterwards.<br />

[[File:Garage-GTASA.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A vehicle save garage in [[Doherty]], [[San Fierro]]]]<br />
<br />
There are several types of vehicle '''garages''' in [[Grand Theft Auto]] games.<br />
<br />
== Types ==<br />
=== Vehicle storage ===<br />
The first type is a garage for storing vehicles, almost exclusively attached to a [[safehouse]], or located near one. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], a maximum of four vehicles will be saved in any of the garages though fewer or more may actually fit inside, depending on the size of the garage as well as the vehicle. A variation on this is the large hangar at the [[Verdant Meadows]] airstrip, in which larger vehicles including planes can be stored. In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], garages were replaced with parking spaces outlined in yellow outside any [[Safehouses in GTA IV|safehouse]] marked with 'Residents Parking Only'. Though more may fit inside the outline, these spaces will save up to two vehicles. Generally, vehicles parked within the space will become dirty, probably from dirt or such kicked up by traffic passing by, or clean, after rainy weather, other vehicles kept in spots that haven't been driven a while will stay dirty until rain comes. At random times, most stored vehicles will spawn dirty, or clean. There is also a risk that traffic might collide with the vehicles (though this only happens when the parking space is still near the player); although any damage to the vehicle is repaired when the parking spot spawns again, if the vehicle is pushed out of the parking spot - and the player doesn't notice and reparks it - the vehicle will be lost.<br />
<br />
=== Vehicle repair ===<br />
The second type is a public vehicle repair business. [[Pay 'n' Spray]] garages exist in all [[GTA III Era]] cities and in GTA IV, and will repair any non-public vehicle, as well as repainting it and replacing the engine to remove [[Wanted Level|wanted levels]].<br />
<br />
=== Vehicle customization ===<br />
The third type is a customization shop. [[TransFender]], [[Loco Low Co.]], and [[Wheel Arch Angels]] are the public garages in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] from which [[Car Modifications|car modifications]] can be purchased, such as wheels, nitrous, or hydraulics.<br />
<br />
=== Bomb shops ===<br />
<br />
Garages like the [[8-Ball Autos]] in all GTA III Era games and [[Welding &amp; Weddings]] in GTA San Andreas allow you to attach a bomb to a car, and to blow up it later if necessary. Sometimes their services will be required for specific missions, in other times, they can be useful or they can be for fun.<br />
<br />
=== Vehicle sale/purchase ===<br />
Garages of the given type accept vehicles from the certain list for a payment. Examples are [[Import/Export]] garages in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Sunshine Autos Import Garage]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. Once the list is finished, cars from it become available for purchasing in garage or other bonuses appears.<br />
<br />
=== Miscellaneous garages ===<br />
Some garages are only available during particular missions, and will not be accessible otherwise. In GTA IV some houses have working garages - for instance, the double-wide garages in [[Westdyke]], Alderney. These will open automatically when a car approaches and NPCs can use them for parking, but vehicles are not saved if the player leaves the area.<br />
<br />
The southeastern-most hangar at [[Las Venturas Airport]] is only used for spawning the [[AT-400]] passenger plane.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In GTA San Andreas, the [[Ganton]] Garage, [[Doherty Garage]], and the [[Verdant Meadows]] Hangar, can be used by the player to store cars in before the player even owns them. They are quite useful when storing special vehicles in them. <br />
* Even though the Verdant Meadows Hangar is notably big, it can only hold 4 vehicles at a time. As such, with the smaller 4 car garage across from it.<br />
* In GTA IV, the [[Broker Safehouse]] becomes unavailable after the mission [[Roman's Sorrow]], but the player can still save vehicles in the parking space. It is unknown if this was intended by the designers or not. This also applies in [[The Lost and Damned]], where [[The Lost MC Clubhouse]] is burned down in [[Get Lost|the last mission]], but the parking spaces are still available for saving vehicles.<br />
* In GTA IV [[Multiplayer in GTA IV|Multiplayer]], players are able to save cars in the parking spaces provided at the safehouses for the course of the game. However, only cars that &lt;u&gt;do not&lt;/u&gt; spawn with traffic will save. Cars that will save include the [[Sentinel]] at the [[Francis International Airport in GTA IV Era|airport]] and the [[Rancher]] that's parked outside the [[Triangle Club]] in [[Industrial]], [[Bohan]].<br />

'''Seeking the Truth''' is a Strangers and Freaks side mission in [[GTA V]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Michael De Santa]] by the infamous [[Epsilon Program]]. The mission is the first time members of the Epsilon make an appearance in the game. It is the first mission in the [[The Truth (Mission Series)|Truth]] series of missions. The mission is located in [[Raton Canyon]].<br />
==Pre-requisites==<br />
As [[Michael De Santa|Michael]], open up a web browser on his cell phone or computer and navigate to Epsilon's website [[Epsilonprogram.com|www.epsilonprogram.com]]. Click the button labelled &quot;Evaluate Your Identity&quot; and complete the evaluation form (the answers do not matter). A series of instructions will appear below the website's evaluation, requiring Michael to locate a vehicle in a remote area. At the same time the question mark icon will appear on the map at [[Raton Canyon]], where the vehicle is located.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
<br />
When Michael arrives at the destination, he sees a red [[Bison]]. He says &quot;Ah, red truck huh&quot;, &quot;Oh fuck it, why not&quot;. He then walks up to the front of the truck and recites the following phrase from a Epsilon booklet, &quot;Take me to my father-father brother-uncle, Kifflom&quot;. As soon as he says this, two members of the cult emerge from behind him and promptly knock him out with a punch, both saying &quot;Kifflom&quot; as they do so. When Michael awakens, he is being thrown out of a black [[Bison]] in the [[Grand Senora Desert]]. He is left wearing just boxers and a tank top, but still left with all of his money and weapons. The last thing heard is the sound of [[Cris Formage]] telling him to donate $500 to the cult (and an e-mail is received with the same instructions). Making this payment (via the program's website) is required before the next mission is unlocked.<br />
<br />
At this point, Michael is left to his own devices for getting home (any vehicle driven to the site of the truck will be gone). Switching to another character for a while is the best way to avoid a lengthy walk. Michael receives instructions for the next mission a couple of days later.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Michael reciting the phrase in front of the red truck is a reference to the myth in [[GTA San Andreas]] saying that doing this in front of a red truck will cause Kifflom to appear. These instructions also appear on the official Epsilon website.<br />

[[File:EpsilonProgram-GTASA-logo.jpg|thumb|The logo of the Epsilon Program.]]<br />
<br />
'''The Epsilon Program''' is a fictional religious cult that is referred to in a number of [[Grand Theft Auto]] games in the [[3D Universe]], and appear in the [[HD Universe]], prominently [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. Led by [[Cris Formage]], the cult first emerged as a [http://www.epsilonprogram.com/ teaser site] for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and more recently a [http://twitter.com/EpsilonismToday twitter account] for [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]]. <br />
<br />
The cult is an obvious scam, intended to gain money by brainwashing its followers into paying large sums of money, parodying real-life cults in the late 20th century. In Formage's own words, it is &quot;''a fellowship of like-minded adults who tithe money in exchange for salvation and merit badges''&quot;. <br />
<br />
Epsilonism seems to be a parody of [[:wp:Scientology|Scientology]], which is followed by Hollywood celebrities, and is likely to be a central theme to [[Vinewood in GTA V|Vinewood]] celebrities in [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Religious beliefs==<br />
[[File:Kraff-GTASA-descendant.jpg|thumb|right|The illustration of a possible descendant of Kraff.]]<br />
The main ideals of the Epsilon Program are established on their website. The religions main deity is Kifflom, and members follow his twelve tenets:<br />
<br />
#The world is 157 years old, and it doesn't age.<br />
#Dinosaurs are a lie that people believe because they are weak.<br />
#You are happy, you just don’t know it.<br />
#We all come from the same tree.<br />
#Everyone is related to everyone else, except for people with red hair.<br />
#Sperm does not exist - it is a lie spread by biology teachers - along with everything else you have ever been told.<br />
#Men are supposed to lie with nine new partners a week. Women are supposed to lie with six, except for in July, when they must lie with five men a day.<br />
#Aliens exist and are present on earth. If you have a birth mark, you may be descended from Kraff, the famous Emperor of the 4th Paradigm.<br />
#Trees talk, but only some people hear them.<br />
#People who believe in something live much longer than atheists, and they have eternal life thrown in for good measure.<br />
#If you believe this and turn you hands and wallet over to EPSILONISM, you’ll live a happy life. Otherwise you are doomed.<br />
#KIFFLOM - HAPPINESS IS YOURS! KIFFLOM!<br />

==Members==<br />
[[File:EpsilonProgram-GTASA-possiblefollower.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The &quot;backpack pedestrian&quot;.]]<br />
The cult's founder and leader is [[Cris Formage]]. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], he can be heard on [[West Coast Talk Radio|the radio]] arguing with [[Lazlow Jones]] and fellow con-artist [[Darius Fontaine]].<br />
<br />
The cult attracts many celebrities, including [[Samantha Muldoon]], who famously converted from [[wp:Buddhism|Buddhism]] to [[wp:Kabbalah|Kabbalah]] to Epsilon within one week, and musicians [[Jezz Torrent]] and [[Maccer]], who both claim the cult helped them with their drug addictions.<br />
<br />
Other followers are listed on the cult website under &quot;testimonials&quot;:<br />
*[[Jonas Ackerman]]<br />
*[[Jeremy Smith]]<br />
*[[Brian Van Ginsberg]]<br />
*[[Jane Pole]]<br />
*[[Mary Fortune]]<br />
*[[Morgan August]]<br />
<br />
The cult is mentioned in [[Pedestrian Dialogue|small talk]] by [[pedestrians]] in [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]]; in particular, [[Barbers in GTA San Andreas|barbers]] (excluding [[Old Reece]]), and a certain kind of pedestrian commonly found around [[Verdant Bluffs]] (identifiable by his rucksack), who claim to be followers.<br />
<br />
The Program is mentioned further in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]: [[Bluesy St. John]] claims she once ended up spending her Thursday nights in a group that prayed to Kifflom, and the cult sponsors [[Chiropracticovernight.com]].<br />
<br />
[[Brendan Roberts]] suggests that he is a member of the cult, as noted when he says ''&quot;Kifflom&quot;'' at the end of his interview on Intelligent Agenda on [[Public Liberty Radio]].<br />
<br />
==Possible background==<br />
The Epsilon Program is named after the [[:wp:Epsilon|Greek letter E]]. The name could possibly be in reference to the [[:wp:Epsilon Team|Epsilon Team]], a Greek secret society.<br />
In the 1987 film ''[[:wp:Dragnet|Dragnet]]'' two cops are involved in investigating a crime. The crime gang is ran by a reverend, who has a voice similar to Cris Formage's. All members of the gang are in a cult, and perform a number of weird rituals throughout the movie. In certain scenes a quiet background music can be heard, identical to the one on the Epsilon Program website. The movie is shot in Los Angeles and some scenes are shot near the observatory - which is sometimes linked with Epsilon in the game. The short scene from the movie featuring both reverend's voice and the music can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWkm713fH-s here].<br />
<br />
The game takes place in the year 1992; as Cris Formage says that the Earth is 157 years old, that would put its creation at 1835. The supposedly-recent creation of the earth as insisted by the program also alludes to the Young Earth creationism beliefs, in which people who believe in it claim that the Earth is much younger than what scientists state.<br />
<br />
==GTA IV and GTA V Eras==<br />
The Epsilon Program also exists in the [[GTA IV Era]]. It is referenced on the [[Radio Stations in GTA IV|radio]] and [[Internet in GTA IV|Internet]], and the phrase &quot;kifflom&quot; is heard several times. [[Brendan Roberts]] may be a member of the cult. This may be a reference to Tom Cruise's religion being Scientology, as Roberts is speculated to be based on Cruise.<br />
<br />
[[Michael De Santa]] can optionally take part in a lengthy series of side missions beginning with [[Seeking the Truth]] focused on the Epsilon Program.<br />
<br />
In July 2012, Rockstar created the [http://twitter.com/EpsilonismToday EpsilonismToday] twitter account. This suggests the cult continues in [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]], but it's not known whether this will play a major part in the storyline. Recently, the real religion of Scientology has caused controversies in the media, and it's famously practiced by Hollywood stars in LA - so Epsilonism is likely to be a central theme to the celebrity lifestyle in [[Vinewood in GTA V|Vinewood]].<br />
<br />
In December 2012, Rockstar released for sale two t-shirts with the game's logo and a third light-blue one saying &quot;KIFFLOM&quot; on the front and &quot;The tract is not yet written&quot; on the back,&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.rockstarwarehouse.com/Product.aspx?pSKU=RS-GTA-KIFFLOM KIFFLOM t-shirt]&lt;/ref&gt; thus verifying that it continues in GTA V.<br />
<br />
On April 2013, R* released a newswire page about Kifflom, revealing that 'directions' will be provided within one week&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/49521/kifflom.html R* Newswire]&lt;/ref&gt;. A collection of screens showed off the facts of Kifflom, with one showing a Caucasian male dressed in a light-blue attire. The terrain behind it appeared to be in-game footage.<br />
<br />
[[File:EpsilonProgram-GTAV-contest.jpg|thumb|right|200px| The application form]]<br />
On April 29, R* revealed an application form to enter the &quot;Los Santos Area Enlightenment Seminar&quot;. In fact, this is a casting call from R* to cast one lucky fan as one of the five Epsilon members.<br />
<br />
===Map references===<br />
[[File:TheFarm-GTASA-farmhouse.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Blue windows of ''The Cult Farm'']]<br />
<br />
One place, &quot;[[The Farm]]. Cult location&quot;, is shown on the map provided with GTA San Andreas. The farmhouse windows are glowing blue at night, unlike any other window in the game which glow yellow.<br />
<br />
Another place associated with cult is located near [[The Big Ear]]. When looked at closely, the pattern of light and dark areas of sand form an image very similar to the one featured on the web-site, and indeed looks like a face of Krant's descendant. There are ghost town and abandoned vehicles nearby, which made the theory that Epsilon is somehow connected to this place even stronger.<br />
<br />
There is a house in the desert, which was connected with Epsilon by various people. It is so-called &quot;bunker&quot;, which is located west of the abandoned airstrip. The house is interesting, because there are no people or cars nearby - the force of Epsilon is believed to keep them away and only cult members can go closer. The house was featured in famous [http://myepsilon.org/content/epsilon_4am.htm 4 AM series].<br />
<br />
Many people have claimed seeing a yellow entrance triangle in the sky over the [[Cluckin' Bell]] take-away in the desert, which is believed to be the entrance to the Puerta Amarilla Valley, which means Yellow Door Valley in Spanish. However, as can be seen from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cSRcUw5ZGI this video] all triangles lead to abandoned houses, which supposedly were made to be used in burglary missions, but later were taken out. <br />
(Note: There are at least four markers high above the sky in the desert. These are difficult to see during gameplay as they are above the [[ceiling height limit]] for aircraft. These markers lead to unused interiors and are thought to be test markers as the names of two of the markers are S1TEST and OFTEST).<br />
<br />
===Puzzle===<br />
The Epsilon website gives players the opportunity to &quot;become one of the children of Kraff&quot; by visiting a particular location:<br />
<br />
{{quote|Join us in something special and become one of the children of Kraff. <br />

Because we all know, there is Kifflom and there is Krant, and both be praised.<br />
<br />

<br />
{{quote|Travel through the dawn to the pass pictured in our brochures.}}<br />
<br />
Dawn means that it has to be morning or an evening. As there are no brochures available, many refer to Rockstar's book for San Andreas. The only picture taken at dawn there is the picture of Sherman dam. Apparently, it fits the idea ideally, as it is a &quot;pass&quot; at the same time - it links two islands. Another proof of possible connection to Epsilon is the [http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/pc/clips/sanandreas_pc_clip1_trailer.html official GTA: SA trailer]. First few seconds feature red truck (Walton, not Sadler) travelling across the dam. This is seen by some as a possible hint to the solution to Epsilon secret. &quot;Pass&quot; could also mean a valley between hills or mountains.<br />
<br />
{{quote|Look for a red truck with a dent on the right fender.}}[[File:Sadler-GTASA-beater-front.jpg|thumb|Sadler]]<br />
<br />
There are a number of Sadler trucks, found around San Andreas which have been smashed. One of them can be found next to the fisherman's hut north from the abandoned airstrip, another in the forests of [[Back o' Beyond]], there are few more in other places. Picking the one near the airstrip makes more sense, as it is located most closely to the dam. Please note, that Sadlers always spawn in different colours, so you may want to come back again to make sure you have got a red one.<br />
<br />
{{quote|Raise your left hand and recite the words: &quot;Take me to to my father-father, brother-uncle. Kifflom.&quot;}}<br />
<br />
CJ can raise his hand, if he is aiming his gun and then looks back. In that case the gun will be pointed upwards and so will be his arm. CJ cannot be made to talk, and so no players have managed to make anything happen, nor gain access to the Puerta Amarilla Valley. Also, when using hand-to-hand combat CJ puts his left arm up when he blocks.<br />
<br />
In GTA V, Michael is given the same instructions as part of the [[Seeking the Truth]] side mission.<br />
<br />
===Rumors===<br />
There are a number of rumors, most of which are believed don't have any backup. Some popular myths have originated from [http://jblend.blogspot.com/2004/08/kifflom-izated.html jblend's blog] where he stated a number of things, the most popular being:<br />
<br />
{{quote|If you see the number one, then you're on your way. Only true believers of Kifflom (praise!!!) can enter the portals. So Keep listening to the trees and I am sure that you'll find your path. If you learn the true meaning of Kifflom (praise him!!!) then you can enter the golden portals of Puertas Amarillas Valley.}}<br />
<br />
Although it is not very plausible, the author claimed to be working for Rockstar, thus making many players looking for number 1 in game or looking for the trees with weird shapes in the woods. It was believed that under certain circumstances you will be able to hear the tree talking; or, once you saw the tree (&quot;number one&quot; in the sequence) everything else will be revealed by the game itself without the need for player's interaction. This is often linked with [http://youtube.com/watch?v=XiOBh-NVnWQ floating tree], [http://youtube.com/watch?v=4iG3UY1zF-w walk-through tree] and [http://youtube.com/watch?v=PSXvyc2Afc0 LOD trees] which do not have anything to do with Epsilon.<br />
<br />
A noticeable fact is that jblend's statement appeared a few weeks prior to official release of San Andreas on PS2.<br />
<br />
Another famous rumor describes what you have to wear (or to do) in order to trigger the mission start.<br />
<br />
{{quote|<br />

}}<br />
<br />
[[File:RedWalton-GTASA-ShermanDam-myth.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Trailer screenshot]]<br />
<br />
The &quot;9 prostitutes&quot; are related to one of the tenets of Epsilon: &quot;Lie with 9 partners a week&quot;. In Lazlow's talk show Cris Formage also says: &quot;Lie with 9 partners a week, it explains everything.&quot;<br />
<br />
Having a cane in weapons slot seems to be based on another Cris's quote: &quot;Touch my cane&quot; which he orders Lazlow to do.<br />
<br />
In the teaser video, which can be found on [http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/pc/ The official GTA SA web-site] under Media&gt;Video&gt;First trailer a red Walton can be seen driving across the Sherman Dam. This enforces the speculated theory that the Dam is ''the'' pass mentioned on Epsilon web-site and that this is somehow related.<br />
<br />
Another Rumor is that of [[Blueberry]] Where it also is believed that Epsilon takes place because of [[File:EpsilonCult-GTASA-logo.png|thumb|right|200px|Epsilon Cult trademark]]the many blue lights that can been seen at night e.g inside the barns at EasterBoard Farm, at the side of hill on the west side of [[Blueberry Acres]], under the bridge at the south end of [[Blueberry]] and the truck terminal also in the south end of [[Blueberry]]. The surprising thing about the Red County Truck Terminal is that it is the only place in the whole of San Andreas that has the words red and truck, this could be another reference to the red truck that is mentioned on the Epsilon [http://www.epsilonprogram.com/ website] .<br />
<br />
==Door in the Sky==<br />
The Yellow door secret is explained in the [[Epsilon Program]] article.<br />
<br />
The doors in the sky are actually yellow markers that allow you to walk through and end up inside of a building.<br />
<br />
The only two yellow markers that are found in the sky are above Cluckin' Bell in the desert. They are far up in the sky and only reachable with cheats or hacks.<br />
<br />
Reports say the two doors are only houses that were meant for Robbery Missions. Rockstar hides these interiors for a reason for nobody to find or reach. In San Andreas, Rockstar hides these marks above San Andreas.<br />

[[File:EpsilonProgram-GTASA-logo.jpg|thumb|The logo of the Epsilon Program.]]<br />
<br />
'''The Epsilon Program''' is a fictional religious cult that is referred to in a number of [[Grand Theft Auto]] games in the [[3D Universe]], and appear in the [[HD Universe]], prominently [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. Led by [[Cris Formage]], the cult first emerged as a [http://www.epsilonprogram.com/ teaser site] for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and more recently a [http://twitter.com/EpsilonismToday twitter account] for [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]]. <br />
<br />
The cult is an obvious scam, intended to gain money by brainwashing its followers into paying large sums of money, parodying real-life cults in the late 20th century. In Formage's own words, it is &quot;''a fellowship of like-minded adults who tithe money in exchange for salvation and merit badges''&quot;. <br />
<br />
Epsilonism seems to be a parody of [[:wp:Scientology|Scientology]], which is followed by Hollywood celebrities, and is likely to be a central theme to [[Vinewood in GTA V|Vinewood]] celebrities in [[Grand Theft Auto V|GTA V]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Religious beliefs==<br />
[[File:Kraff-GTASA-descendant.jpg|thumb|right|The illustration of a possible descendant of Kraff.]]<br />
The main ideals of the Epsilon Program are established on their website. The religions main deity is Kifflom, and members follow his twelve tenets:<br />
<br />
#The world is 157 years old, and it doesn't age.<br />
#Dinosaurs are a lie that people believe because they are weak.<br />
#You are happy, you just don’t know it.<br />
#We all come from the same tree.<br />
#Everyone is related to everyone else, except for people with red hair.<br />
#Sperm does not exist - it is a lie spread by biology teachers - along with everything else you have ever been told.<br />
#Men are supposed to lie with nine new partners a week. Women are supposed to lie with six, except for in July, when they must lie with five men a day.<br />
#Aliens exist and are present on earth. If you have a birth mark, you may be descended from Kraff, the famous Emperor of the 4th Paradigm.<br />
#Trees talk, but only some people hear them.<br />
#People who believe in something live much longer than atheists, and they have eternal life thrown in for good measure.<br />
#If you believe this and turn you hands and wallet over to EPSILONISM, you’ll live a happy life. Otherwise you are doomed.<br />
#KIFFLOM - HAPPINESS IS YOURS! KIFFLOM!<br />
<br />
Their site contains a page about the Tract, which is expected to hold the truth about Epsilon. However, the site states that the tract has not yet been written. There is an address in [[wp:Grand Canaria|Grand Canaria]] to send a cheque to, from which you would supposedly be sent a copy of the Tract.

Although it is not very plausible, the author claimed to be working for Rockstar, thus making many players looking for number 1 in game or looking for the trees with weird shapes in the woods.

This is often linked with [http://youtube.com/watch?v=XiOBh-NVnWQ floating tree], [http://youtube.com/watch?v=4iG3UY1zF-w walk-through tree] and [http://youtube.com/watch?v=PSXvyc2Afc0 LOD trees] which do not have anything to do with Epsilon.<br />
<br />
A noticeable fact is that jblend's statement appeared a few weeks prior to official release of San Andreas on PS2.<br />
<br />
Another famous rumor describes what you have to wear (or to do) in order to trigger the mission start.<br />

[[File:RedWalton-GTASA-ShermanDam-myth.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Trailer screenshot]]<br />
<br />
The &quot;9 prostitutes&quot; are related to one of the tenets of Epsilon: &quot;Lie with 9 partners a week&quot;. In Lazlow's talk show Cris Formage also says: &quot;Lie with 9 partners a week, it explains everything.&quot;<br />
<br />
Having a cane in weapons slot seems to be based on another Cris's quote: &quot;Touch my cane&quot; which he orders Lazlow to do.<br />
<br />
In the teaser video, which can be found on [http://www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas/pc/ The official GTA SA web-site] under Media&gt;Video&gt;First trailer a red Walton can be seen driving across the Sherman Dam. This enforces the speculated theory that the Dam is ''the'' pass mentioned on Epsilon web-site and that this is somehow related.<br />
<br />
Another Rumor is that of [[Blueberry]] Where it also is believed that Epsilon takes place because of [[File:EpsilonCult-GTASA-logo.png|thumb|right|200px|Epsilon Cult trademark]]the many blue lights that can been seen at night e.g inside the barns at EasterBoard Farm, at the side of hill on the west side of [[Blueberry Acres]], under the bridge at the south end of [[Blueberry]] and the truck terminal also in the south end of [[Blueberry]]. The surprising thing about the Red County Truck Terminal is that it is the only place in the whole of San Andreas that has the words red and truck, this could be another reference to the red truck that is mentioned on the Epsilon [http://www.epsilonprogram.com/ website] .<br />
<br />
==Door in the Sky==<br />
The Yellow door secret is explained in the [[Epsilon Program]] article.<br />
<br />
The doors in the sky are actually yellow markers that allow you to walk through and end up inside of a building.<br />
<br />
The only two yellow markers that are found in the sky are above Cluckin' Bell in the desert. They are far up in the sky and only reachable with cheats or hacks.<br />
<br />
Reports say the two doors are only houses that were meant for Robbery Missions. Rockstar hides these interiors for a reason for nobody to find or reach. In San Andreas, Rockstar hides these marks above San Andreas.<br />

'''Seeking the Truth''' is a Strangers and Freaks side mission in [[GTA V]] given to [[protagonist]] [[Michael De Santa]] by the infamous [[Epsilon Program]]. The mission is the first time members of the Epsilon make an appearance in the game. It is the first mission in the [[The Truth (Mission Series)|Truth]] series of missions. The mission is located in [[Raton Canyon]].<br />
==Pre-requisites==<br />
As [[Michael De Santa|Michael]], open up a web browser on his cell phone or computer and navigate to Epsilon's website [[Epsilonprogram.com|www.epsilonprogram.com]]. Click the button labelled &quot;Evaluate Your Identity&quot; and complete the evaluation form. The question mark icon will appear on the map at [[Raton Canyon]].<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
<br />
When Michael arrives at the destination, he sees a red [[Bison]]. He says &quot;Ah, red truck huh&quot;, &quot;Oh fuck it, why not&quot;. He then walks up to the front of the truck and recites the following phrase from a Epsilon booklet, &quot;Take me to my father-father brother-uncle, Kifflom&quot;. As soon as he says this, two members of the cult emerge from behind him and promptly knock him out with a punch, both saying &quot;Kifflom&quot; as they do so. When Michael awakens, he is being thrown out of a black [[Bison]] in the [[Grand Senora Desert]]. He is left wearing just boxers and a tank top, but still left with all of his money and weapons. The last thing heard is the sound of [[Cris Formage]] telling him to donate $500 to the cult.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Michael reciting the phrase in front of the red truck is a reference to the myth in [[GTA San Andreas]] saying that doing this in front of a red truck will cause Kifflom to appear. These instructions also appear on the official Epsilon website.<br />

'''Repossession''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto V]], given by [[Simeon Yetarian]] to [[Franklin Clinton]].<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
As Franklin walks into the showroom of [[Premium Deluxe Motorsport]], Simeon invites Franklin into his office to reveal that Franklin has won the Employee of the Month award. As Simeon and Franklin have a discussion, [[Lamar Davis]] walks in, jealous of Franklin for winning the Employee of the Month award. Simeon tells Franklin and Lamar to repossess a bike from [[Esteban Jimenez]] in [[Vespucci Beach]]. Franklin inquires if Jimenez is in a gang, to which Simeon says yes; however, he claims that he didn't inquire about that at the time the bike was purchased.<br />
<br />
After leaving the dealership, Franklin and Lamar drive to Magellan Avenue, with Franklin showing concern about having to drive into [[Los Santos Vagos in GTA V|Vagos]] territory. Once Franklin and Lamar arrive, they check the lockups for the bike. In the lockup with the gray door, the player can find full [[body armor]]. After searching all three lockups, Franklin and Lamar do not find the bike. When Vagos arrive on the scene, Lamar pulls out a [[Micro SMG]] and kills one of them and throws Franklin a [[Pistol]]. When the gunfight starts, the player is given information about the [[Weapons Wheel|weapons selection wheel]]. After shooting their way out of the alley, Franklin and Lamar proceed to chase the bike down. After retrieving the bike, Lamar tells Franklin to meet him at the car wash in [[Strawberry]]; once there, Franklin argues that they cannot repossess assets from dead men. Lamar takes the bike for himself, telling Franklin to tell Simeon that they could not recover it.<br />
<br />
Following this mission, a green [[Bagger]] spawns at Franklin's [[Strawberry Safehouse]]. It will also often spawn near Franklin when switching protagonists and he's not at home.<br />

'''A Starlet in Vinewood''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] for [[Franklin Clinton]] in [[Vinewood Hills]], [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]]. The mission becomes available after collecting all 50 [[Letter Scraps|letter scraps]].<br />
<br />
==Mission==<br />
[[Franklin Clinton]], having collected all [[Letter Scraps|50 letter scraps]] and discovering that [[Peter Dreyfuss]] had killed [[Leonora Johnson]] after putting the scraps together, goes to his [[Peter Dreyfuss' House|house]] in [[Vinewood Hills]]. Franklin enters the property and attempts to confront Dreyfuss who initially mistakes him for at first a fan and second a script writer. Franklin eventually shows Dreyfuss a picture of Leonora on his [[Mobile Phone|phone]] and Dreyfuss, who had suggested Franklin give him a blowjob, calls for security saying that Franklin is attempting to rape him. When security does not appear and his attempts to bribe Franklin prove unsuccessful, he runs away saying that as he is famous the rules do not apply to him. He leaves and can be spared or killed by Franklin, although the player must kill Dreyfuss for gold medal completion.<br />
<br />
Note: on approaching Dreyfuss' house, Franklin may be diverted by an unrelated random event involving rescuing a young woman being kidnapped by members of [[The Lost Brotherhood]] bike gang and taking her home (while fending off more attacks by the Lost). The event is triggered if Franklin approaches from the east and he must complete this side-mission (and survive) before returning to Dreyfuss' house again (the question mark disappears once the event begins).<br />
<br />
==Tip==<br />
When Franklin pulls up to the house a vehicle will be parked across its driveway. Jacking this vehicle and driving it around the corner will result in Dreyfuss making a run for it on foot, eliminating the need or a car chase and making for a relatively easy kill. The PS3 version has a glitch, however, that may make Franklin's vehicle vanish after the cutscene. If Dreyfuss gets into his vehicle, a car chase will ensue on the winding roads, possibly with the added distraction of a wanted level.<br />
<br />
It is possible to kill Dreyfuss from a distance without triggering the cut scene (such as with a sniper rifle) but the mission isn't triggered and therefore the player doesn't get the credit or achievement.<br />

'''A Starlet in Vinewood''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] for [[Franklin Clinton]] in [[Vinewood Hills]], [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]]. The mission becomes available after collecting all 50 [[Letter Scraps|letter scraps]].<br />
<br />
==Mission==<br />
[[Franklin Clinton]], having collected all [[Letter Scraps|50 letter scraps]] and discovering that [[Peter Dreyfuss]] had killed [[Leonora Johnson]] after putting the scraps together, goes to his [[Peter Dreyfuss' House|house]] in [[Vinewood Hills]]. Franklin enters the property and attempts to confront Dreyfuss who initially mistakes him for at first a fan and second a script writer. Franklin eventually shows Dreyfuss a picture of Leonora on his [[Mobile Phone|phone]] and Dreyfuss, who had suggested Franklin give him a blowjob, calls for security saying that Franklin is attempting to rape him. When security does not appear and his attempts to bribe Franklin prove unsuccessful, he runs away saying that as he is famous the rules do not apply to him. He leaves and can be spared or killed by Franklin, although the player must kill Dreyfuss for gold medal completion.<br />
<br />
Note: on approaching Dreyfuss' house, Franklin may be diverted by an unrelated random event involving rescuing a young woman being kidnapped by members of [[The Lost Brotherhood]] bike gang and taking her home (while fending off more attacks by the Lost). The event is triggered if Franklin approaches from the east and he must complete this side-mission (and survive) before returning to Dreyfuss' house again (the question mark disappears once the event begins).<br />
<br />
==Tip==<br />
When Franklin pulls up to the house a vehicle will be parked across its driveway. Jacking this vehicle and driving it around the corner will result in Dreyfuss making a run for it on foot, eliminating the need or a car chase and making for a relatively easy kill. The PS3 version has a glitch, however, that may make Franklin's vehicle vanish after the cutscene. If Dreyfuss gets into his vehicle, a car chase will ensue on the winding roads, possibly with the added distraction of a wanted level.<br />

----<br />
*''The following is a list of secrets, easter eggs, and hidden trivia references in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. ''<br />
*''For a list of myths, see [http://www.gta-myths.wikia.com GTA Myths Wiki].''<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
This page holds information regarding '''secrets and easter eggs''' in '''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
*In the mission [[Prologue]], underneath the train bridge the gang passes in the SUV, there is a frozen creek. Frozen under the ice is an [[Aliens|alien]].<br />
[[File:Luden alien.jpg|thumb|238px|The alien frozen in ice under the bridge in Ludendorff, North Yankton.]]<br />
*In the mission [[Predator (mission)|Predator]], [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] must use a sniper rifle fitted with a thermal scope to find the [[O'Neil Brothers]] in the woods at night. If the player zooms in on the thermal heat dot on the bottom right, it appears to be a [[w:c:gta-myths:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] standing still. Shooting it does nothing and it abruptly disappears after a few seconds.<br />
*A large sunken flying saucer with sea plants growing on it can be found north-east of [[Paleto Bay]]. It can be reached via [[Submarine]].<br />
*Three more [[UFOs in GTA V|UFOs]] can be seen above [[Mount Chiliad in GTA V|Mount Chiliad]], [[Fort Zancudo]] and [[Sandy Shores]] once [[Completion in GTA V|100% completion]] is obtained.<br />
*In [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]], there is a juice stand with a big orange ball attached to the top. Shooting or walking into this ball will cause it to detach and roll off down the hill.<br />
*Another 'BIG Orange' Juice Stand can be found at the northwest corner of East [[Joshua Road]] and [[Route 13]] ([[Senora Freeway]]) in [[Grapeseed]] and the [[San Chianski Mountain Range]], respectively.<br />
*Between 23:00 and 0:00, a [[Jolene Cranley-Evans|female ghost]] appears on the eastern peak of [[Mount Gordo]]. The ghost doesn't move or take damage, and will not react to the player being present or shooting it. While the ghost is present, the word &quot;JOCK&quot; is written in blood on the rock where the ghost stands. The ghost fades away if the player gets too close, and the bloody writing will disappear. Investigating online reveals that the ghost is [[Jock Cranley]]'s wife, murdered by him.<br />
*When using a computer, the mouse cursor has its middle finger pointing up, instead of its index finger, appearing to give the player the finger.<br />
*If you access your phone in game and dial 948-555-0100, you will hear the dial up internet sound. This is also the number you call for [[ZiT]] in GTA IV. The same will happen if the player dials any cheat codes from ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] ''and'' [[Episodes from Liberty City]].''<br />
*Once you have unlocked access to the [[Submersible]], you can explore the seabed and discover a crashed US Air jet, the location of the jet is north-east from the peninsula in [[Paleto Forest]], somewhat close to the parachute jump activity.<br />
*By using the submarine, you can find the famous 'Hatch' from the TV series [[wp:Lost (TV series)|Lost]], which is located to the far East of the map, over the coast near the San Chianski Mountain Range. The Hatch cannot be approached either by submarine nor driving, as the protagonist (all three) will get crushed[[File:79e1585a5ed820fa41a92e1f30bdc213.png|thumb|The secret markings on the Collector's Edition map.]].<br />
*Using a black light/UV light on the blueprint map that comes with the Collector's Edition of GTA V reveals markings, map legends, secrets and text. Most of the things that appear are pointing towards the existence of [[UFOs in GTA V|UFO]]s. Three of the collectible Space Ship Parts are also shown in the map. A full video regarding this easter egg can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSUUacykcM here].<br />
*In Franklin's house, if you look in the far right corner next to his bed, behind the fan, you will find his &quot;special stash.&quot;<br />
*In [[Trevor's Trailer]] you can see a box of Breakfast Cereal next to the sink which looks strikingly similar to [[wp:Sugar Puffs|Sugar Puffs]], a cereal from the United Kingdom.<br />
*As Franklin or Trevor, fire at Michael's house and he will call or text you angrily telling you to stop.[[File:MapBlueprint-GTAV.png|thumb|A blueprint map, similar to the one given by Rockstar on the Collector's Edition. ]]<br />
**Also, if you sneak near his house as Franklin or Trevor, Michael will call or text you asking politely if you are sneaking around.<br />
*If the player follows a protagonist they are not playing as for too long, the one being followed will turn around and knock the player out.<br />
*There is a blueprint of the beta map on a wall inside [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]]'s Safehouse.<br />
*There is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_2 Mark 2 Panzer Tank] among other wreckage submerged off the coast near the [http://gta.wikia.com/Humane_Labs_and_Research Humane Labs &amp; Research] building. The exact location is accessible by Scuba diving in Story Mode, or by Submersible in GTA Online. A lack of visible rust compared to other wreckage suggests it was sunk recently or was very well maintained. The location of this Easter Egg can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAj6XDumcx4 in this video] .<br />
<br />
==References to the GTA series==<br />
*On the [[Speeder (boat)|Speeder]] , the GPS shows a map of [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]].<br />
*In the [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers|first trailer]], there is a number on the curb of a house for sale that says &quot;2405&quot;. This is likely a reference to the birthday of the Houser brothers, who were both born on the 24th of May.<br />
*In [[Chamberlain Hills]], close to Franklin's house, there is graffiti that reads &quot;''Welcome Back - We missed you last time''&quot;, welcoming players back to [[San Andreas]].<br />
*On the 2013 license plates of cars, the time-of-manufacture sticker says 'MAY'. This could be the original release date for the game which was confirmed to be in spring 2013, making May a plausible release date, or the month in which GTA V entered development. It could also, albeit less likely be a nod to the Houser brothers' birth month.<br />
[[File:Welcome Back Sign - GTA V.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*On the eastern side of the [[Del Perro Pier]] a piece of graffiti can be found reading 'Nothing to see here - groove along' accompanied by a small illustration of a smiling face. This may be a reference to a similar [[The Hidden Sign|sign]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].<br />
*A pedestrian can be heard saying when pulled out of a car: &quot;I'm moving to [[Vice City]]!&quot;.<br />
*In Franklin's apartment in the Vinewood Hills, if you go to his bookshelf with the stereo on top and zoom in on the second cubbyhole at the bottom, you will see a book entitled &quot;The Liberty Killing&quot; and the face of [[Donald Love]] from [[Grand Theft Auto III]].<br />
*There are multiple newspapers scattered around the map with pictures of [[Johnny Klebitz]] appearing on the front.<br />
*The [[Los Santos Country Club]] was established in [[1992]], a nod to the year of the setting of ''[[GTA San Andreas]]''.<br />
*The San Andreas Flight School was established in 2004, the same year [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] was released.<br />
*In [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers#Michael. Franklin. Trevor|Trevor's Trailer]] at 0:55, the number on the locomotive reads &quot;''LS2004''&quot;, also possibly a nod to when ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' was released.<br />
*If you go and listen to [[Radio Los Santos]], there's a song called &quot;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQl-cZfolb4 Smoke and Ride]&quot;. It could be a reference to [[Big Smoke]] and [[Ryder]] from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]<br />
*During the mission [[Hood Safari]], on the last turn before you get to [[Grove Street]], you will see 3 peds riding [[BMX]]'s down Grove Street away from the cul-de-sac. These 3 peds closely resemble [[Carl Johnson|C.J]], [[Sweet Johnson|Sweet]] and [[Big Smoke]] in the events of [[Sweet &amp; Kendl]] mission.<br />
*There is a billboard of [[Toni (DJ)|Toni]], a woman who was the DJ of several radio stations in the [[3D Universe]].<br />
*One of the lines Michael will say after parking a car inside the garage of the mansion is &quot;Daddy's back, bitches.&quot; This is the same line [[Dave Bosoy]] says at the very beginning of [[GTA IV]].<br />
*In the first heist, [[Lester]] refers to an Eastern-European man living in Liberty City who went quiet. This could either mean that Niko has given up his life of crime to live a normal peaceful one, or that he was killed. It's more likely that after the ending of GTA IV Niko had no more problems and settled down to a good life.<br />
*[[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]] can be seen viewing [[Niko Bellic]]'s LifeInvader page on his laptop while sitting at the dining table in his [[Michael's House|house]]. It is difficult to see the page in detail, however he appears to have [[Roman]] in his friends list and is stalking [[Burger Shot]], possibly a humorous reference to the health system in GTA IV, wherein by the end of the game Niko would have eaten many burgers due to the player constantly replenishing his health.<br />
*In a random event, you help two people get away from a robbery. One of the robbers is Irish and keeps saying that Liberty City was easier to rob. This robber turns out to be [[Packie]] from GTA IV. After this encounter he becomes a possible hire for a heist. During one of the heists Packie mentions that Niko is most likely dead but he does not know for a fact.<br />
*There is an advert featuring the artwork of one of [[The Twins]] painted on a building.[[File:Twin-GTAV.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*Multiple [[QUB3D]] machines from [[GTA IV]] can be found.<br />
*If you listen to Trevor's radio in his signature [[Bodhi]] you can hear a conversation between a truck driver and another who goes by the name [[Eddie Low]], who was a serial killer that could be found in [[Alderney]] by Niko in [[GTA IV]].<br />
*If the player goes into the [[Yellow Jack Inn]] in Sandy Shores, behind the counter will be several $50 bills hanging on the wall. Pictured on these bills is the artwork of [[Rochell'le]] that appeared on the disc and coverart of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''.<br />
[[File:LosSantosGraffiti.png|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*In [[Franklin's House]] in [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]] there are three Gold Records on the wall, one of which belongs to [[OG Loc]] from [[GTA San Andreas]]. There is also a [[Madd Dogg]] CD sitting on top of the DJ Booth, and a red and blue coloured artwork of Madd Dogg with MADD written across the bottom.<br />
*During the mission [[Derailed]], a requirement is named &quot;Better than CJ&quot;. This refers to the mission [[Wrong Side Of The Tracks]] in [[GTA San Andreas]] when CJ needs to follow a train.<br />
*On a wall next to the tunnel on Low Power Street, there is graffiti of ''Los Santos'' sprayed in the style of the original ''[[Grand Theft Auto 1]]'' logo.<br />
*The character of [[Lenny Avery]], an unscrupulous real estate developer, may be a reference to [[Avery Carrington]] from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''.<br />
*One of the business available to purchase, [[Pitchers]], has a partial sample of the logo of [[Tony Prince]]'s [[Hercules]] club.<br />
*One of the outfits available for heists, the boiler suit with the hockey mask, it's a clear reference to [[GTA Vice City]]'s heist mission planned at the [[Malibu Club]].<br />
*Among the buyable clothes for Michael, it is possible to give him the appearance of the default attire of [[Tommy Vercetti]].<br />
*Along the water on [[Vespucci Beach]], some beach towels have &quot; I ♥ VC&quot; on them, which is a reference to [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
*In the movie Capolavoro, the Heart of Liberty City is seen at part of it.<br />
*There's a wholesale &amp; retail store in [[Textile City]] called Broker, a reference to the district of [[Broker]] in [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]] from [[GTA IV]]. The shop also features a picture of Broker's skyline on its logo.<br />
*[[BJ Smith]], minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], is referenced a couple of times: in the name of a recreation center and park in [[Chamberlain Hills]] ([[BJ Smith Recreational Center]]), and in the name of a convenience store in [[East Vinewood]] (BJ's Market).<br />
<br />
==References to other video games==<br />
===Rockstar video games===<br />
*In the Grand Theft Auto Online character creation menu, it is possible to get John Marston from Red Dead Redemption as your father. [[Red Dead Redemption]] was developed by Rockstar San Diego; the creator of the [[RAGE]] engine, and it is also a Rockstar Games' subsidiary.<br />
*At [[Vespucci Movie Masks]] in [[Vespucci Beach]], there is a pig mask which similarly resembles [http://rockstarmanhunt.wikia.com/wiki/Piggsy Piggsy] from [[wp:Manhunt (video game)|Manhunt]] which is also made by Rockstar. In [[GTA Online]] you can also purchase a hockey mask which resembles those worn by members of the Skins and carnival masks resembling those worn by members of the Smilies.<br />
*In the [[Vanilla Unicorn]] strip club, an npc will occasionally wear a purple jersey with the last name &quot;Hopkins&quot; referring to the Rockstar game Bully.<br />
*In [[Strawberry]], under the freeway, there is a lot of graffiti on the walls. One of them resembles a silhouette of [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/John_Marston John Marston] riding a horse at night time, with a full moon. John is the protagonist of the game [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dead_Redemption Red Dead Redemption], another game developed and published by Rockstar.<br />
*There is a book case in the living room of Franklin's Vinewood house, with a few titles that stand out, like the book &quot;Red Dead&quot;, by a J. Marston. &quot;J. Marston&quot; likely refers to John's son [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Jack_Marston Jack], who regularly read books and stated that he may write a book himself one day.<br />
*There are two roads in Sandy Shores referencing towns in Red Dead Redemption, Cholla Springs Avenue and Armadillo Avenue. [[Algonquin Boulevard]], a nod to the [[Algonquin]] borough of [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]], cuts through both.<br />
*The Elysian Fields Freeway in the game is a reference to the Elysian Fields Co. and housing development from [[w:c:lanoire|L.A. Noire]].<br />
*In the mission, [[The Paleto Score]], on the drive to the bank, [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] mentioned that his first successful score was a heist twenty five years ago &quot;a few miles out from [[Carcer City]]&quot;. This is another reference to Rockstar's game, ''[[Manhunt]]''.<br />
*If you go to [[Sub Urban]], you are able to buy a Hawaiian shirt very similar to the one Max Payne wears in Max Payne 3, which is another game created by Rockstar.<br />
*There is a Rent-A-Car agency named &quot;[http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Escalera Escalera] &quot;. Escalera was a town in Red Dead Redemption.<br />
<br />
===Other video games===<br />
[[File:GTAVEASTEREGG.png|thumb|146px|Dead Island Easter Egg]]<br />

This page holds information regarding '''secrets and easter eggs''' in '''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
*In the mission [[Prologue]], underneath the train bridge the gang passes in the SUV, there is a frozen creek. Frozen under the ice is an [[Aliens|alien]].<br />
[[File:Luden alien.jpg|thumb|238px|The alien frozen in ice under the bridge in Ludendorff, North Yankton.]]<br />
*In the mission [[Predator (mission)|Predator]], [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] must use a sniper rifle fitted with a thermal scope to find the [[O'Neil Brothers]] in the woods at night. If the player zooms in on the thermal heat dot on the bottom right, it appears to be a [[w:c:gta-myths:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] standing still. Shooting it does nothing and it abruptly disappears after a few seconds.<br />
*A large sunken flying saucer with sea plants growing on it can be found north-east of [[Paleto Bay]]. It can be reached via [[Submarine]].<br />
*Three more [[UFOs in GTA V|UFOs]] can be seen above [[Mount Chiliad in GTA V|Mount Chiliad]], [[Fort Zancudo]] and [[Sandy Shores]] once [[Completion in GTA V|100% completion]] is obtained.<br />
*In [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]], there is a juice stand with a big orange ball attached to the top. Shooting or walking into this ball will cause it to detach and roll off down the hill.<br />
*Another 'BIG Orange' Juice Stand can be found at the northwest corner of East [[Joshua Road]] and [[Route 13]] ([[Senora Freeway]]) in [[Grapeseed]] and the [[San Chianski Mountain Range]], respectively.<br />
*Between 23:00 and 0:00, a [[Jolene Cranley-Evans|female ghost]] appears on the eastern peak of [[Mount Gordo]]. The ghost doesn't move or take damage, and will not react to the player being present or shooting it. While the ghost is present, the word &quot;JOCK&quot; is written in blood on the rock where the ghost stands. The ghost fades away if the player gets too close, and the bloody writing will disappear. Investigating online reveals that the ghost is [[Jock Cranley]]'s wife, murdered by him.<br />
*When using a computer, the mouse cursor has its middle finger pointing up, instead of its index finger, appearing to give the player the finger.<br />
*If you access your phone in game and dial 948-555-0100, you will hear the dial up internet sound. This is also the number you call for [[ZiT]] in GTA IV. The same will happen if the player dials any cheat codes from ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] ''and'' [[Episodes from Liberty City]].''<br />
*Once you have unlocked access to the [[Submersible]], you can explore the seabed and discover a crashed US Air jet, the location of the jet is north-east from the peninsula in [[Paleto Forest]], somewhat close to the parachute jump activity.<br />
*By using the submarine, you can find the famous 'Hatch' from the TV series [[wp:Lost (TV series)|Lost]], which is located to the far East of the map, over the coast near the San Chianski Mountain Range. The Hatch cannot be approached either by submarine nor driving, as the protagonist (all three) will get crushed[[File:79e1585a5ed820fa41a92e1f30bdc213.png|thumb|The secret markings on the Collector's Edition map.]].<br />
*Using a black light/UV light on the blueprint map that comes with the Collector's Edition of GTA V reveals markings, map legends, secrets and text. Most of the things that appear are pointing towards the existence of [[UFOs in GTA V|UFO]]s. Three of the collectible Space Ship Parts are also shown in the map. A full video regarding this easter egg can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSUUacykcM here].<br />
*In Franklin's house, if you look in the far right corner next to his bed, behind the fan, you will find his &quot;special stash.&quot;<br />
*In [[Trevor's Trailer]] you can see a box of Breakfast Cereal next to the sink which looks strikingly similar to [[wp:Sugar Puffs|Sugar Puffs]], a cereal from the United Kingdom.<br />
*As Franklin or Trevor, fire at Michael's house and he will call or text you angrily telling you to stop.[[File:MapBlueprint-GTAV.png|thumb|A blueprint map, similar to the one given by Rockstar on the Collector's Edition. ]]<br />
**Also, if you sneak near his house as Franklin or Trevor, Michael will call or text you asking politely if you are sneaking around.<br />
*If the player follows a protagonist they are not playing as for too long, the one being followed will turn around and knock the player out.<br />
*There is a blueprint of the beta map on a wall inside [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]]'s Safehouse.<br />
*There is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_2 Mark 2 Panzer Tank] among other wreckage submerged off the coast near the [http://gta.wikia.com/Humane_Labs_and_Research Humane Labs &amp; Research] building. The exact location is accessible by Scuba diving in Story Mode, or by Submersible in GTA Online. A lack of visible rust compared to other wreckage suggests it was sunk recently or was very well maintained. The location of this Easter Egg can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAj6XDumcx4 in this video] .<br />
<br />
==References to the GTA series==<br />
*On the [[Speeder (boat)|Speeder]] , the GPS shows a map of [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]].<br />
*In the [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers|first trailer]], there is a number on the curb of a house for sale that says &quot;2405&quot;. This is likely a reference to the birthday of the Houser brothers, who were both born on the 24th of May.<br />
*In [[Chamberlain Hills]], close to Franklin's house, there is graffiti that reads &quot;''Welcome Back - We missed you last time''&quot;, welcoming players back to [[San Andreas]].<br />
*On the 2013 license plates of cars, the time-of-manufacture sticker says 'MAY'. This could be the original release date for the game which was confirmed to be in spring 2013, making May a plausible release date, or the month in which GTA V entered development. It could also, albeit less likely be a nod to the Houser brothers' birth month.<br />
[[File:Welcome Back Sign - GTA V.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*On the eastern side of the [[Del Perro Pier]] a piece of graffiti can be found reading 'Nothing to see here - groove along' accompanied by a small illustration of a smiling face. This may be a reference to a similar [[The Hidden Sign|sign]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].<br />

*During the mission [[Hood Safari]], on the last turn before you get to [[Grove Street]], you will see 3 peds riding [[BMX]]'s down Grove Street away from the cul-de-sac. These 3 peds closely resemble [[Carl Johnson|C.J]], [[Sweet Johnson|Sweet]] and [[Big Smoke]] in the events of [[Sweet &amp; Kendl]] mission.<br />
*There is a billboard of [[Toni (DJ)|Toni]], a woman who was the DJ of several radio stations in the [[3D Universe]].<br />
*One of the lines Michael will say after parking a car inside the garage of the mansion is &quot;Daddy's back, bitches.&quot; This is the same line [[Dave Bosoy]] says at the very beginning of [[GTA IV]].<br />
*In the first heist, [[Lester]] refers to an Eastern-European man living in Liberty City who went quiet. This could either mean that Niko has given up his life of crime to live a normal peaceful one, or that he was killed. It's more likely that after the ending of GTA IV Niko had no more problems and settled down to a good life.<br />
*[[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]] can be seen viewing [[Niko Bellic]]'s LifeInvader page on his laptop while sitting at the dining table in his [[Michael's House|house]]. It is difficult to see the page in detail, however he appears to have [[Roman]] in his friends list and is stalking [[Burger Shot]], possibly a humorous reference to the health system in GTA IV, wherein by the end of the game Niko would have eaten many burgers due to the player constantly replenishing his health.<br />
*In a random event, you help two people get away from a robbery. One of the robbers is Irish and keeps saying that Liberty City was easier to rob. This robber turns out to be [[Packie]] from GTA IV. After this encounter he becomes a possible hire for a heist. During one of the heists Packie mentions that Niko is most likely dead but he does not know for a fact.<br />
*There is an advert featuring the artwork of one of [[The Twins]] painted on a building.[[File:Twin-GTAV.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*Multiple [[QUB3D]] machines from [[GTA IV]] can be found.<br />
*If you listen to Trevor's radio in his signature [[Bodhi]] you can hear a conversation between a truck driver and another who goes by the name [[Eddie Low]], who was a serial killer that could be found in [[Alderney]] by Niko in [[GTA IV]].<br />
*If the player goes into the [[Yellow Jack Inn]] in Sandy Shores, behind the counter will be several $50 bills hanging on the wall. Pictured on these bills is the artwork of [[Rochell'le]] that appeared on the disc and coverart of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''.<br />
[[File:LosSantosGraffiti.png|thumb|right|240px]]<br />

There is also a [[Madd Dogg]] CD sitting on top of the DJ Booth, and a red and blue coloured artwork of Madd Dogg with MADD written across the bottom.<br />
*During the mission [[Derailed]], a requirement is named &quot;Better than CJ&quot;. This refers to the mission [[Wrong Side Of The Tracks]] in [[GTA San Andreas]] when CJ needs to follow a train.<br />
*On a wall next to the tunnel on Low Power Street, there is graffiti of ''Los Santos'' sprayed in the style of the original ''[[Grand Theft Auto 1]]'' logo.<br />
*The character of [[Lenny Avery]], an unscrupulous real estate developer, may be a reference to [[Avery Carrington]] from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''.<br />
*One of the business available to purchase, [[Pitchers]], has a partial sample of the logo of [[Tony Prince]]'s [[Hercules]] club.<br />
*One of the outfits available for heists, the boiler suit with the hockey mask, it's a clear reference to [[GTA Vice City]]'s heist mission planned at the [[Malibu Club]].<br />
*Among the buyable clothes for Michael, it is possible to give him the appearance of the default attire of [[Tommy Vercetti]].<br />

*There's a wholesale &amp; retail store in [[Textile City]] called Broker, a reference to the district of [[Broker]] in [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]] from [[GTA IV]]. The shop also features a picture of Broker's skyline on its logo.<br />
*[[BJ Smith]], minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], is referenced a couple of times: in the name of a recreation center and park in [[Chamberlain Hills]] ([[BJ Smith Recreational Center]]), and in the name of a convenience store in [[East Vinewood]] (BJ's Market).<br />

<br />
This page holds information regarding '''secrets and easter eggs''' in '''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
*In the mission [[Prologue]], underneath the train bridge the gang passes in the SUV, there is a frozen creek. Frozen under the ice is an [[Aliens|alien]].<br />
[[File:Luden alien.jpg|thumb|238px|The alien frozen in ice under the bridge in Ludendorff, North Yankton.]]<br />
*In the mission [[Predator (mission)|Predator]], [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] must use a sniper rifle fitted with a thermal scope to find the [[O'Neil Brothers]] in the woods at night. If the player zooms in on the thermal heat dot on the bottom right, it appears to be a [[w:c:gta-myths:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] standing still. Shooting it does nothing and it abruptly disappears after a few seconds.<br />
*A large sunken flying saucer with sea plants growing on it can be found north-east of [[Paleto Bay]]. It can be reached via [[Submarine]].<br />
*Three more [[UFOs in GTA V|UFOs]] can be seen above [[Mount Chiliad in GTA V|Mount Chiliad]], [[Fort Zancudo]] and [[Sandy Shores]] once [[Completion in GTA V|100% completion]] is obtained.<br />
*In [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]], there is a juice stand with a big orange ball attached to the top. Shooting or walking into this ball will cause it to detach and roll off down the hill.<br />
*Another 'BIG Orange' Juice Stand can be found at the northwest corner of East [[Joshua Road]] and [[Route 13]] ([[Senora Freeway]]) in [[Grapeseed]] and the [[San Chianski Mountain Range]], respectively.<br />
*Between 23:00 and 0:00, a [[Jolene Cranley-Evans|female ghost]] appears on the eastern peak of [[Mount Gordo]]. The ghost doesn't move or take damage, and will not react to the player being present or shooting it. While the ghost is present, the word &quot;JOCK&quot; is written in blood on the rock where the ghost stands. The ghost fades away if the player gets too close, and the bloody writing will disappear. Investigating online reveals that the ghost is [[Jock Cranley]]'s wife, murdered by him.<br />
*When using a computer, the mouse cursor has its middle finger pointing up, instead of its index finger, appearing to give the player the finger.<br />
*If you access your phone in game and dial 948-555-0100, you will hear the dial up internet sound. This is also the number you call for [[ZiT]] in GTA IV. The same will happen if the player dials any cheat codes from ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] ''and'' [[Episodes from Liberty City]].''<br />
*Once you have unlocked access to the [[Submersible]], you can explore the seabed and discover a crashed US Air jet, the location of the jet is north-east from the peninsula in [[Paleto Forest]], somewhat close to the parachute jump activity.<br />
*By using the submarine, you can find the famous 'Hatch' from the TV series [[wp:Lost (TV series)|Lost]], which is located to the far East of the map, over the coast near the San Chianski Mountain Range. The Hatch cannot be approached either by submarine nor driving, as the protagonist (all three) will get crushed[[File:79e1585a5ed820fa41a92e1f30bdc213.png|thumb|The secret markings on the Collector's Edition map.]].<br />
*Using a black light/UV light on the blueprint map that comes with the Collector's Edition of GTA V reveals markings, map legends, secrets and text. Most of the things that appear are pointing towards the existence of [[UFOs in GTA V|UFO]]s. Three of the collectible Space Ship Parts are also shown in the map. A full video regarding this easter egg can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSUUacykcM here].<br />
*In Franklin's house, if you look in the far right corner next to his bed, behind the fan, you will find his &quot;special stash.&quot;<br />
*In [[Trevor's Trailer]] you can see a box of Breakfast Cereal next to the sink which looks strikingly similar to [[wp:Sugar Puffs|Sugar Puffs]], a cereal from the United Kingdom.<br />
*As Franklin or Trevor, fire at Michael's house and he will call or text you angrily telling you to stop.[[File:MapBlueprint-GTAV.png|thumb|A blueprint map, similar to the one given by Rockstar on the Collector's Edition. ]]<br />
**Also, if you sneak near his house as Franklin or Trevor, Michael will call or text you asking politely if you are sneaking around.<br />
*If the player follows a protagonist they are not playing as for too long, the one being followed will turn around and knock the player out.<br />
*There is a blueprint of the beta map on a wall inside [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]]'s Safehouse.<br />
*There is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_2 Mark 2 Panzer Tank] among other wreckage submerged off the coast near the [http://gta.wikia.com/Humane_Labs_and_Research Humane Labs &amp; Research] building. The exact location is accessible by Scuba diving in Story Mode, or by Submersible in GTA Online. A lack of visible rust compared to other wreckage suggests it was sunk recently or was very well maintained. The location of this Easter Egg can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAj6XDumcx4 in this video] .<br />
<br />
==References to the GTA series==<br />
*On the [[Speeder (boat)|Speeder]] , the GPS shows a map of [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]].<br />
*In the [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers|first trailer]], there is a number on the curb of a house for sale that says &quot;2405&quot;. This is likely a reference to the birthday of the Houser brothers, who were both born on the 24th of May.<br />
*In [[Chamberlain Hills]], close to Franklin's house, there is graffiti that reads &quot;''Welcome Back - We missed you last time''&quot;, welcoming players back to [[San Andreas]].<br />
*On the 2013 license plates of cars, the time-of-manufacture sticker says 'MAY'. This could be the original release date for the game which was confirmed to be in spring 2013, making May a plausible release date, or the month in which GTA V entered development. It could also, albeit less likely be a nod to the Houser brothers' birth month.<br />
[[File:Welcome Back Sign - GTA V.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*On the eastern side of the [[Del Perro Pier]] a piece of graffiti can be found reading 'Nothing to see here - groove along' accompanied by a small illustration of a smiling face. This may be a reference to a similar [[The Hidden Sign|sign]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].<br />

*In [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers#Michael. Franklin. Trevor|Trevor's Trailer]] at 0:55, the number on the locomotive reads &quot;''LS2004''&quot;, also possibly a nod to when ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' was released.<br />
*If you go and listen to [[Radio Los Santos]], there's a song called &quot;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQl-cZfolb4 Smoke and Ride]&quot;. It could be a reference to [[Big Smoke]] and [[Ryder]] from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]<br />
*During the mission [[Hood Safari]], on the last turn before you get to [[Grove Street]], you will see 3 peds riding [[BMX]]'s down Grove Street away from the cul-de-sac. These 3 peds closely resemble [[Carl Johnson|C.J]], [[Sweet Johnson|Sweet]] and [[Big Smoke]] in the events of [[Sweet &amp; Kendl]] mission.<br />
*There is a billboard of [[Toni (DJ)|Toni]], a woman who was the DJ of several radio stations in the [[3D Universe]].<br />
*One of the lines Michael will say after parking a car inside the garage of the mansion is &quot;Daddy's back, bitches.&quot; This is the same line [[Dave Bosoy]] says at the very beginning of [[GTA IV]].<br />
*In the first heist, [[Lester]] refers to an Eastern-European man living in Liberty City who went quiet. This could either mean that Niko has given up his life of crime to live a normal peaceful one, or that he was killed. It's more likely that after the ending of GTA IV Niko had no more problems and settled down to a good life.<br />
*[[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]] can be seen viewing [[Niko Bellic]]'s LifeInvader page on his laptop while sitting at the dining table in his [[Michael's House|house]]. It is difficult to see the page in detail, however he appears to have [[Roman]] in his friends list and is stalking [[Burger Shot]], possibly a humorous reference to the health system in GTA IV, wherein by the end of the game Niko would have eaten many burgers due to the player constantly replenishing his health.<br />
*In a random event, you help two people get away from a robbery. One of the robbers is Irish and keeps saying that Liberty City was easier to rob. This robber turns out to be [[Packie]] from GTA IV. After this encounter he becomes a possible hire for a heist. During one of the heists Packie mentions that Niko is most likely dead but he does not know for a fact.<br />
*There is an advert featuring the artwork of one of [[The Twins]] painted on a building.[[File:Twin-GTAV.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*Multiple [[QUB3D]] machines from [[GTA IV]] can be found.<br />
*If you listen to Trevor's radio in his signature [[Bodhi]] you can hear a conversation between a truck driver and another who goes by the name [[Eddie Low]], who was a serial killer that could be found in [[Alderney]] by Niko in [[GTA IV]].<br />
*If the player goes into the [[Yellow Jack Inn]] in Sandy Shores, behind the counter will be several $50 bills hanging on the wall. Pictured on these bills is the artwork of [[Rochell'le]] that appeared on the disc and coverart of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''.<br />
[[File:LosSantosGraffiti.png|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*In [[Franklin's House]] in [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]] there are three Gold Records on the wall, one of which belongs to [[OG Loc]] from [[GTA San Andreas]]. There is also a [[Madd Dogg]] CD sitting on top of the DJ Booth, and a red and blue coloured artwork of Madd Dogg with MADD written across the bottom.<br />
*During the mission [[Derailed]], a requirement is named &quot;Better than CJ&quot;. This refers to the mission [[Wrong Side Of The Tracks]] in [[GTA San Andreas]] when CJ needs to follow a train.<br />
*On a wall next to the tunnel on Low Power Street, there is graffiti of ''Los Santos'' sprayed in the style of the original ''[[Grand Theft Auto 1]]'' logo.<br />
*The character of [[Lenny Avery]], an unscrupulous real estate developer, may be a reference to [[Avery Carrington]] from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''.<br />
*One of the business available to purchase, [[Pitchers]], has a partial sample of the logo of [[Tony Prince]]'s [[Hercules]] club.<br />
*One of the outfits available for heists, the boiler suit with the hockey mask, it's a clear reference to [[GTA Vice City]]'s heist mission planned at the [[Malibu Club]].<br />
*Among the buyable clothes for Michael, it is possible to give him the appearance of the default attire of [[Tommy Vercetti]].<br />
*Along the water on [[Vespucci Beach]], some beach towels have &quot; I ♥ VC&quot; on them, which is a reference to [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
*In the movie Capolavoro, the Heart of Liberty City is seen at part of it.<br />
*There's a wholesale &amp; retail store in [[Textile City]] called Broker, a reference to the district of [[Broker]] in [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]] from [[GTA IV]]. The shop also features a picture of Broker's skyline on its logo.<br />
*[[BJ Smith]], minor character in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], is referenced a couple of times: in the name of a recreation center and park in [[Chamberlain Hills]] ([[BJ Smith Recreational Center]]), and in the name of a convenience store in [[East Vinewood]] (BJ's Market).<br />
<br />

This page holds information regarding '''secrets and easter eggs''' in '''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'''.<br />
<br />
==Easter Eggs==<br />
*In the mission [[Prologue]], underneath the train bridge the gang passes in the SUV, there is a frozen creek. Frozen under the ice is an [[Aliens|alien]].<br />
[[File:Luden alien.jpg|thumb|238px|The alien frozen in ice under the bridge in Ludendorff, North Yankton.]]<br />
*In the mission [[Predator (mission)|Predator]], [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] must use a sniper rifle fitted with a thermal scope to find the [[O'Neil Brothers]] in the woods at night. If the player zooms in on the thermal heat dot on the bottom right, it appears to be a [[w:c:gta-myths:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] standing still. Shooting it does nothing and it abruptly disappears after a few seconds.<br />
*A large sunken flying saucer with sea plants growing on it can be found north-east of [[Paleto Bay]]. It can be reached via [[Submarine]].<br />
*Three more [[UFOs in GTA V|UFOs]] can be seen above [[Mount Chiliad in GTA V|Mount Chiliad]], [[Fort Zancudo]] and [[Sandy Shores]] once [[Completion in GTA V|100% completion]] is obtained.<br />
*In [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]], there is a juice stand with a big orange ball attached to the top. Shooting or walking into this ball will cause it to detach and roll off down the hill.<br />
*Another 'BIG Orange' Juice Stand can be found at the northwest corner of East [[Joshua Road]] and [[Route 13]] ([[Senora Freeway]]) in [[Grapeseed]] and the [[San Chianski Mountain Range]], respectively.<br />
*Between 23:00 and 0:00, a [[Jolene Cranley-Evans|female ghost]] appears on the eastern peak of [[Mount Gordo]]. The ghost doesn't move or take damage, and will not react to the player being present or shooting it. While the ghost is present, the word &quot;JOCK&quot; is written in blood on the rock where the ghost stands. The ghost fades away if the player gets too close, and the bloody writing will disappear. Investigating online reveals that the ghost is [[Jock Cranley]]'s wife, murdered by him.<br />
*When using a computer, the mouse cursor has its middle finger pointing up, instead of its index finger, appearing to give the player the finger.<br />
*If you access your phone in game and dial 948-555-0100, you will hear the dial up internet sound. This is also the number you call for [[ZiT]] in GTA IV. The same will happen if the player dials any cheat codes from ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]] ''and'' [[Episodes from Liberty City]].''<br />
*Once you have unlocked access to the [[Submersible]], you can explore the seabed and discover a crashed US Air jet, the location of the jet is north-east from the peninsula in [[Paleto Forest]], somewhat close to the parachute jump activity.<br />
*By using the submarine, you can find the famous 'Hatch' from the TV series [[wp:Lost (TV series)|Lost]], which is located to the far East of the map, over the coast near the San Chianski Mountain Range. The Hatch cannot be approached either by submarine nor driving, as the protagonist (all three) will get crushed[[File:79e1585a5ed820fa41a92e1f30bdc213.png|thumb|The secret markings on the Collector's Edition map.]].<br />
*Using a black light/UV light on the blueprint map that comes with the Collector's Edition of GTA V reveals markings, map legends, secrets and text. Most of the things that appear are pointing towards the existence of [[UFOs in GTA V|UFO]]s. Three of the collectible Space Ship Parts are also shown in the map. A full video regarding this easter egg can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrSUUacykcM here].<br />
*In Franklin's house, if you look in the far right corner next to his bed, behind the fan, you will find his &quot;special stash.&quot;<br />
*In [[Trevor's Trailer]] you can see a box of Breakfast Cereal next to the sink which looks strikingly similar to [[wp:Sugar Puffs|Sugar Puffs]], a cereal from the United Kingdom.<br />
*As Franklin or Trevor, fire at Michael's house and he will call or text you angrily telling you to stop.[[File:MapBlueprint-GTAV.png|thumb|A blueprint map, similar to the one given by Rockstar on the Collector's Edition. ]]<br />
**Also, if you sneak near his house as Franklin or Trevor, Michael will call or text you asking politely if you are sneaking around.<br />
*If the player follows a protagonist they are not playing as for too long, the one being followed will turn around and knock the player out.<br />
*There is a blueprint of the beta map on a wall inside [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]]'s Safehouse.<br />
*There is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_2 Mark 2 Panzer Tank] among other wreckage submerged off the coast near the [http://gta.wikia.com/Humane_Labs_and_Research Humane Labs &amp; Research] building. The exact location is accessible by Scuba diving in Story Mode, or by Submersible in GTA Online. A lack of visible rust compared to other wreckage suggests it was sunk recently or was very well maintained. The location of this Easter Egg can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAj6XDumcx4 in this video] .<br />
<br />
==References to the GTA series==<br />
*On the [[Speeder (boat)|Speeder]] , the GPS shows a map of [[Liberty City (HD Universe)|Liberty City]].<br />
*In the [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers|first trailer]], there is a number on the curb of a house for sale that says &quot;2405&quot;. This is likely a reference to the birthday of the Houser brothers, who were both born on the 24th of May.<br />
*In [[Chamberlain Hills]], close to Franklin's house, there is graffiti that reads &quot;''Welcome Back - We missed you last time''&quot;, welcoming players back to [[San Andreas]].<br />
*On the 2013 license plates of cars, the time-of-manufacture sticker says 'MAY'. This could be the original release date for the game which was confirmed to be in spring 2013, making May a plausible release date, or the month in which GTA V entered development. It could also, albeit less likely be a nod to the Houser brothers' birth month.<br />
[[File:Welcome Back Sign - GTA V.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*On the eastern side of the [[Del Perro Pier]] a piece of graffiti can be found reading 'Nothing to see here - groove along' accompanied by a small illustration of a smiling face. This may be a reference to a similar [[The Hidden Sign|sign]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].<br />
*A pedestrian can be heard saying when pulled out of a car: &quot;I'm moving to [[Vice City]]!&quot;.<br />

*In [[Grand Theft Auto V/Trailers#Michael. Franklin. Trevor|Trevor's Trailer]] at 0:55, the number on the locomotive reads &quot;''LS2004''&quot;, also possibly a nod to when ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' was released.<br />
*If you go and listen to [[Radio Los Santos]], there's a song called &quot;[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQl-cZfolb4 Smoke and Ride]&quot;. It could be a reference to [[Big Smoke]] and [[Ryder]] from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]<br />
*During the mission [[Hood Safari]], on the last turn before you get to [[Grove Street]], you will see 3 peds riding [[BMX]]'s down Grove Street away from the cul-de-sac. These 3 peds closely resemble [[Carl Johnson|C.J]], [[Sweet Johnson|Sweet]] and [[Big Smoke]] in the events of [[Sweet &amp; Kendl]] mission.<br />
*There is a billboard of [[Toni (DJ)|Toni]], a woman who was the DJ of several radio stations in the [[3D Universe]].<br />
*One of the lines Michael will say after parking a car inside the garage of the mansion is &quot;Daddy's back, bitches.&quot; This is the same line [[Dave Bosoy]] says at the very beginning of [[GTA IV]].<br />
*In the first heist, [[Lester]] refers to an Eastern-European man living in Liberty City who went quiet. This could either mean that Niko has given up his life of crime to live a normal peaceful one, or that he was killed. It's more likely that after the ending of GTA IV Niko had no more problems and settled down to a good life.<br />
*[[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]] can be seen viewing [[Niko Bellic]]'s LifeInvader page on his laptop while sitting at the dining table in his [[Michael's House|house]]. It is difficult to see the page in detail, however he appears to have [[Roman]] in his friends list and is stalking [[Burger Shot]], possibly a humorous reference to the health system in GTA IV, wherein by the end of the game Niko would have eaten many burgers due to the player constantly replenishing his health.<br />
*In a random event, you help two people get away from a robbery. One of the robbers is Irish and keeps saying that Liberty City was easier to rob. This robber turns out to be [[Packie]] from GTA IV. After this encounter he becomes a possible hire for a heist. During one of the heists Packie mentions that Niko is most likely dead but he does not know for a fact.<br />
*There is an advert featuring the artwork of one of [[The Twins]] painted on a building.[[File:Twin-GTAV.jpg|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*Multiple [[QUB3D]] machines from [[GTA IV]] can be found.<br />
*If you listen to Trevor's radio in his signature [[Bodhi]] you can hear a conversation between a truck driver and another who goes by the name [[Eddie Low]], who was a serial killer that could be found in [[Alderney]] by Niko in [[GTA IV]].<br />
*If the player goes into the [[Yellow Jack Inn]] in Sandy Shores, behind the counter will be several $50 bills hanging on the wall. Pictured on these bills is the artwork of [[Rochell'le]] that appeared on the disc and coverart of ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''.<br />
[[File:LosSantosGraffiti.png|thumb|right|240px]]<br />
*In [[Franklin's House]] in [[Vinewood Hills (GTA V)|Vinewood Hills]] there are three Gold Records on the wall, one of which belongs to [[OG Loc]] from [[GTA San Andreas]]. There is also a [[Madd Dogg]] CD sitting on top of the DJ Booth, and a red and blue coloured artwork of Madd Dogg with MADD written across the bottom.<br />
*During the mission [[Derailed]], a requirement is named &quot;Better than CJ&quot;. This refers to the mission [[Wrong Side Of The Tracks]] in [[GTA San Andreas]] when CJ needs to follow a train.<br />
*On a wall next to the tunnel on Low Power Street, there is graffiti of ''Los Santos'' sprayed in the style of the original ''[[Grand Theft Auto 1]]'' logo.<br />
*The character of [[Lenny Avery]], an unscrupulous real estate developer, may be a reference to [[Avery Carrington]] from ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''.<br />
*One of the business available to purchase, [[Pitchers]], has a partial sample of the logo of [[Tony Prince]]'s [[Hercules]] club.<br />

A few feet behind the vehicle are a few police cars and a helicopter. You see an officer begin to approach the vehicle.

{{Chronology}}<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
Grand Theft Auto V features three playable [[protagonist]]s, a first for the GTA series: [[Michael De Santa]], [[Franklin Clinton]] and [[Trevor Philips]], with the player able to swap between the three when not on certain missions or [[Wanted Level in GTA V|wanted]] by the [[LSPD in GTA V|police]]. Certain missions involve two or all three protagonists, allowing the player to switch between them to assist in completing the mission. One mission also allows the player to swap to [[Chop]], a Rottweiler dog owned by [[Lamar Davis]] but looked after by Franklin. The three protagonists have their own lives and, when not chosen, continue with their daily routines, occasionally resulting in the player continuing the activity. When the player chooses another character, the protagonist &quot;left behind&quot; remains in his location for a short period of time; if the newly controller character returns to the location where the other character was left, the two will interact and can optionally take part in non-mission activities together.<br />
<br />
Some storyline missions, side missions and hobbies will only be available to a specific character while random encounters can be encountered and completed by any protagonist. The player can also customise each character beyond their initial appearance through buying clothes, changing hairstyles, getting tattoos and enhancing certain abilities such as stamina, driving skill or flying skill. Each protagonist also has a [[Special Abilities|special ability]], which can be triggered during gameplay: Michael can slow down time while on foot, Franklin can slow down time while driving and Trevor can become angry, dealing out more damage and taking little in return.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Setting==<br />
Grand Theft Auto V is set in the fictional state of [[San Andreas in GTA V|San Andreas]]: consisting of the city of [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] and the rural [[Blaine County]], which also includes two towns called [[Paleto Bay]] and [[Sandy Shores]]. The player can explore the entire map from the beginning of the game, although certain areas ([[Fort Zancudo]], [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|Los Santos International Airport]] and [[Bolingbroke Penitentiary]]), result in a wanted level being given to the player. GTA V also includes a fully explorable [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]] floor, which can be explored by swimming underwater, scuba diving or in a submarine. Animals also roam across Blaine County and the surrounding Pacific Ocean with some (such as mountain lions and sharks) being prepared to hunt and kill the player character.<br />

<br />
On 2 July 2013, Rockstar [http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/50871/asked-answered-gtav.html answered several gamers' questions] through a news article. In this article, they confirmed the following:<br />
:*The ability to switch to any protagonist at any time when not in a mission, as well as missions that involve multiple protagonists<br />

:*All editions of the game will include a double-sided map of Los Santos<br />
:*Both weapons and cars will be &quot;very customizable&quot;<br />
:*The Xbox 360 version will be 2 discs, with Disc 1 being a first-time install-only disc and Disc 2 being the gameplay disc, while the PlayStation 3 version will be one disc and will automatically install the same way the Xbox 360 version does, both requiring 8GB of space<br />
:*A gameplay trailer and information on [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] will be coming soon; Rockstar will not confirm nor deny a PC version as well as next gen versions<br />
:*There will be new and stronger anti-cheating measures online<br />
:*Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gameplay will be identical<br />
:*There ''will not'' be another delay and the 17 September release date still stands<br />

==Plot==<br />
===Time Period===<br />
GTA V is set in [[2013]] shortly after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto Online]], four years on from [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], and five years on from [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].<br />
<br />
===Pretense===<br />
The game follows three [[protagonist]]s on their individual journeys to success in the criminal underworld.<br />
<br />
*'''[[Michael De Santa]]''': In [[2004]] Michael De Santa, then known as '''Michael Townley''', makes an off the books deal with [[Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation#GTA_V|FIB]] agent [[Dave Norton]] to retire from criminal activity in return for the arrests of [[Trevor Philips]], who escapes, and [[Bradley Snider]], who Norton killed. Michael, spending his days relaxing and arguing with his family, eventually returns to criminal activity after meeting [[Franklin Clinton]].<br />
*'''[[Franklin Clinton]]''': Franklin Clinton is a gang member attempting to move to a more lucrative type of activity, legal or otherwise. He works as a repossession agent alongside friend [[Lamar Davis]] and lives with his [[Denise Clinton|Aunt Denise]] in [[Strawberry]], [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]].<br />
*'''[[Trevor Philips]]''': Trevor Philips, believing his friend had been [[Prologue (GTA V)|killed]] in [[2004]], became involved in numerous types of criminal activity and is looking to expand his operations. Trevor lives in [[Sandy Shores]], [[Blaine County]].<br />
<br />
===GTA V===<br />
====History to current events====<br />
The game begins in [[2004]] with an attempted heist on a business in [[Ludendorff]], [[North Yankton]] by [[Michael De Santa|Michael Townley]], [[Trevor Philips]], [[Bradley Snider]] and an unnamed getaway driver. They manage to get away from the building with the money, however, the getaway driver and Bradley are killed, while Michael is also shot. Trevor flees the scene, which is filled with the local police and FIB agents, evading them. In between 2004 and [[2013]] Snider is buried as Michael, who moves to [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] to retire from criminal activity, while Trevor eventually finds his way to living in [[Sandy Shores]], [[Blaine County]] just north of Los Santos.<br />
<br />
====The present day====<br />
Following the [[Prologue (GTA V)|opening mission set in 2004]], the game begins in earnest with [[Franklin Clinton]] and [[Lamar Davis]] working at [[Premium Deluxe Motorsport]] for [[Simeon Yetarian]] as repossession agents. Simeon, having sold a car to Michael's son [[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]], sends Franklin to repossess the car after he defaults on the payments. Michael, however, holds Franklin at gun point and forces him to drive the car into Premium Deluxe Motorsport's showroom. Franklin and Lamar, who had also kept a motorcycle rather than returning it, are both fired. Michael, feeling bad for Franklin, offers him a free beer and the two begin to talk about their involvement in the criminal underworld, both past and present.<br />

Michael, having seen his [[Amanda De Santa|wife Amanda]] cheating with her [[Kyle Chavis|tennis coach]], chases him to a house before pulling the support beams from underneath it, destroying the house. [[Martin Madrazo]], the home's owner, convinces Michael and Franklin, who had assisted Michael, into paying for the house to be rebuilt. The two form a crew and rob a [[Vangelico's Fine Jewelry|jewelery store]], taking enough money to repay Madrazo.<br />
<br />
====Introducing Trevor Philips====<br />
In [[Blaine County]], at the same time, Trevor Philips begins to expand his criminal empire by destroying [[The Lost Brotherhood]]'s Los Santos chapter while also attempting to form links with the Triads, although this proves unsuccessful, which includes destroying a rival meth lab owned by the [[O'Neil Brothers]]. News of the jewellery store heist appears on news programs and a phrase used during the heist reminds Trevor of his lost friend Michael. He sends [[Wade Hebert]] to Los Santos to discover the whereabouts of Michael and eventually tracks him down. The two confront each other but work together to [[Fame or Shame (mission)|stop]] Michael's daughter [[Tracey De Santa|Tracey]] from appearing on a [[Fame or Shame|reality television show]].<br />
<br />
Michael, Franklin and Trevor then begin to work together to achieve their aims of earning enough money to live out their lives, while also attempting to keep [[Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation#GTA_V|FIB]] agents [[Steve Haines]], [[Dave Norton]] and [[Andreas Sanchez]] from arresting or killing them. Together they [[The Merryweather Heist|steal military hardware]], 'recover' a man from the [[Central_Intelligence_Agency#Grand_Theft_Auto_V|IAA]] with information about a terrorist and [[The Paleto Score|perform a heist]] at a [[Paleto Bay]-based bank, although Michael and Trevor briefly go into hiding after kidnapping [[Patricia Madrazo]]. Trevor also spends this time piecing together the events of [[2004]] and brings his suspicions to Michael who is unable to successfully deny the truth.<br />
<br />
====The truth revealed====<br />
Michael and Trevor, having planned to perform [[The Big Score|one last heist]], go their separate ways with Trevor promising to return and kill Michael. Michael and Franklin, however, continue to work together by perform a [[The Bureau Raid|terrorist attack]] on the [[FIB Building|FIB building]], with the promise of being set free from their work with the FIB corrupt agents. They, however, double cross the group and plan another meeting, which is subsequently raided by FIB agents after having received information from Andreas Sanchez. Steve Haines escapes and leaves his partner [[Dave Norton]] behind. Norton, however, also escapes with help from Michael and Trevor, who agree to put their differences aside to work on one last heist.<br />
<br />
====The ending====<br />
Michael, Franklin and Trevor prepare for and then execute the heist, getting away with a vast sum of gold, which is later melted down and sold by [[Lester Crest]]. The crew gets its agreed share and the relationship between Michael, Franklin and Trevor ends. However, unknown to Michael and Trevor, Franklin had been contacted by the FIB to kill Trevor and by [[Devin Weston]], a businessman and billionaire the trio had stolen cars for, to kill Michael.<br />
<br />
The player, as Franklin, then has three choices: to kill Trevor for the FIB, to kill Michael for Devin Weston or to save both:<br />
*'''Killing Michael''': If the player kills Michael, then he and Franklin will drive to a secluded spot before Michael is pushed off a water tower. Franklin can then either let him fall to his death or attempt to save him, causing Michael to headbutt him and fall to his death.<br />
*'''Killing Trevor''': If the player kills Trevor, then Michael and Franklin will chase him to an oil plant where Trevor will crash his car into an oil tank, covering him with oil, which Franklin lights on fire.<br />
*'''Saving both''': If the player decides to save both Michael and Trevor then the three work together one final time to attack FIB agents and [[Merryweather Security Consulting|Merryweather]] mercenaries before agreeing to split up and kill their various enemies. Michael agrees to kill [[Stretch (GTA V)|Stretch]], who had tried to get Franklin and Lamar killed on numerous occasions, Franklin agrees to kill Triad boss [[Wei Chung]], who had almost had a business relationship with Trevor and who had almost killed Michael, while Trevor is left to kill Steve Haines. Afterwards Trevor kidnaps [[Devin Weston]] and locks him in the boot Devin's car, which is driven to a secluded location and pushed into the Pacific Ocean by the trio. With Trevor and Michael reconciling, the three agree to remain friends, but end their relationships professionally.<br />

<br />
==Sales==<br />
Grand Theft Auto V was commercially successful within twenty-four hours of release having generated [[Money|$]]800 million, equating to 13 million copies being sold, and set a new record for first-day sales. Three days after released, on September 20th, 2013, the game exceeded $1 billion, making it the fastest selling entertainment product in history. Six days after release, September 26, 2013, GTA V had become the [[United Kingdom|UK's]] fastest selling game of all time and the 24th biggest-selling game ever.<br />
<br />
==Controversy==<br />
The mission [[By the Book]] generated significant controversy regarding its use of torture on [[Mr. K]] in order to extract information about an Azerbaijani terrorist. [[Trevor Philips]] uses various torture devices on Mr. K, who is strapped to a chair. Trevor is later asked by corrupt [[Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation#GTA_V|FIB]] agent [[Steve Haines]] to kill Mr. K but instead drives him to the [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|airport]] and while driving to the airport Trevor comments on the ineffectiveness of torture in extracting information.<br />

|name = State of San Andreas<br />
}}<br />
The '''State of San Andreas''' is a fictional West Coast state in the [[United States]]. The state is based on [[wp:California|California]] and [[wp:Nevada|Nevada]].<br />
<br />
== Information ==<br />
The only area of San Andreas that is playable in GTA V is Los Santos and Blaine County. However, this area is obviously not representative of all the state. Though the map in GTA V is an island, the map is simply designed that way in order to keep the feeling of freedom for the player. In theory, Los Santos and Blaine County may very well be connected with other fictional areas of the state, but simply do not appear.<br />
<br />
The small portion of San Andreas in GTA V features a number of mountain ranges, farms, deserts, woodlands, lakes, parks, towns, and a major city (Los Santos). The capital of San Andreas is unknown, but it may be based on [[wp:Sacramento, California|Sacramento]]. <br />

*The state flag of San Andreas is identical to that of California, with the exception of a beaver replacing a bear and the flag being colored blue rather than red.<br />

'''Liberty City in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], [[GTA IV Episodes|its episodes]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]]''' is the third rendition of Liberty City, much different from its [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|appearance in the GTA III Era]] and much more closely based on [[:wp:New York City|New York City]]. The city has more detail and personality, with many more places which are based on real [[/New York Landmarks|landmarks]] such as the [[Statue of Happiness]], [[Star Junction]] and the [[Rotterdam Tower]].<br />
<br />
This rendition of Liberty City has versions of four of the five boroughs of New York City, plus [[wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]]. [[wp:Brooklyn|Brooklyn]] is '''[[Broker]]''', [[:wp:Queens|Queens]] is '''[[Dukes]]''', [[:wp:Manhattan|Manhattan]] is '''[[Algonquin]]''' and [[:wp:The Bronx|Bronx]] is '''[[Bohan]]'''. The neighboring areas of [[:wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]] are represented by [[Alderney]], which technically is separate from Liberty City. The only borough not to be recreated in the game is [[:wp:Staten Island|Staten Island]].<br />
<br />
Grand Theft Auto IV and its two episodes ([[The Lost and Damned]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]) use the same full rendition of the city. However, a small number of different locations are accessible in the different episodes. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars uses all of the city apart from [[Alderney]] and is altered for the top-down perspective of the game.<br />

{{quote|&quot;With more sights, shows, restaurants, bars, museums, shopping and borderline psychopaths than you can shake a shotgun at, there is no place quite like Liberty City. Where else can you get sworn at by a senior citizen, accosted by a crackhead, propositioned by a prostitute, and strip-searched by a police officer, all before breakfast? Discover the history, culture and diversity that make a booming metropolis the capital of the world, at least according to the over-caffeinated locals. We encourage you to explore Liberty City's four boroughs and it's islands, each with it's own distinct atmosphere and personality. There is always something for everyone. There is also Liberty City's sister, Alderney State...&quot;}}<br />

== History of Liberty City ==<br />
{{main|A History of Liberty City}}<br />
[[File:LibertyCity-GTAIV-skyline-sunset.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, looking across to [[Algonquin]] from a park in [[Broker]].]]<br />
Liberty City first began when the Dutch sent out English explorer [[Horatio Humboldt]] to find a new location for them to sell [[Drugs|Marijuana]] in 1609 and he sailed to the Humboldt river. The Dutch became a colony and soon Europeans traveled to city to find what freedom was truly like in the colony of New Rotterdam which promised convenience stores and public hangings as well as a slave trade craze which swept the colony ever since the very first ship load of slaves. Eventually, the English set sail for the colony, which was based on the slender island named Algonquin after an old Indian word with the same pronunciation and the settlers signed a petition to be ruled by the British. Soon the English expanded the colonies by eradicating natives and took over three new islands for the colony. The first consisted of both Broker, named after the king's bastard son who was conceived by a milk maid and the other Dukes, after the term Duky because the people smelled like excrement. Alderney was named after a man called Phillip D'Alderney, the only man who could bear living in the swampy industrial island. The smallest island was named Bohan for the Dutch word for Dutch word. <br />
<br />
The British and the Americans fought in what was to be known as the American revolution for freedom from taxes, and after receiving a statue of a transvestite eating ice cream from the French, the Americans won and removed the Union Jack and melting the statue of King George into chains, toilet seats and gold teeth. Slavery was soon outlawed in Liberty City and women were forced to spend time under train tracks servicing men. The politicians of Liberty City moved to Washington DC when Liberty City's status as the capital of the nation was removed and given to DC. Frederick O' Fitzpatrick decided to head to the south and teach them a lesson after tensions risen and a civil war was on the horizon, but before doing so constructed Middle Park. Beyond the tranquility, people were tired of living in black and white and riots ensued, which didn't help with a civil war looming.<br />
<br />
== City Information ==<br />
[[File:Algonquin-GTAIV-panorama-night.png|thumb|right|400px|Liberty City at night as seen from the south.]]<br />
As of 2008, the population of Liberty City is 8,363,710. The current mayor is [[Julio Ochoa]] while the Deputy Mayor is [[Bryce Dawkins]]. [[Thomas Stubbs III]] is Liberty City's congressman. The time setting is approximately in April to September 2008.<br />
<br />
The area of the city is compressed in size (as seen with the Empire State Building's proximity to the Broker Bridge in the final shot), and the various landmarks are placed much closer to each other than in real life. The entire map is smaller than that of [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]], but is immensely more detailed. This makes Liberty City in GTA IV the most lifelike city to feature in any [[Grand Theft Auto]] game yet. From the massive buildings and large mass of traffic on every block of Algonquin, to residential areas of Bohan, Rockstar has successfully compromised quantity for quality, although the lack of pedestrians in normally crowded places such as Star Junction has drawn criticism.<br />
<br />
Liberty City is an incredibly diverse city and so are its neighborhoods and residents. Such examples of diverse neighborhoods include the large Russian, Italian-American and African-American populations found in various neighborhoods across the city. Liberty City's residents are known for their sarcastic attitude. The demonym of a Liberty City inhabitant is &quot;Libertonian&quot;.<br />
<br />
==== Crime ====<br />
Crime is life in Liberty City, most likely brought about by the large number of gangs in Liberty, each fighting for control of the city and will use any means possible. [[The Commission]] is an Italian-American Mafia association of all the major gangs in the city, including the Five Families are the [[Ancelotti Family]], the [[Pavano Family]], [[Gambetti Family]], the [[Messina Family]] and the [[Lupisella Family]]. Towards the end of GTA IV, the [[Pegorino Family]] are trying to gain a place in The Commission. There are other major crime organizations such as the [[Irish]], and the [[Algonquin Triads|Triads]]. There are, of course, many ethnic street gangs in Liberty City as well, such as the [[North Holland Hustlers]], the [[Northwood Dominican Drug Dealers]], and the [[Spanish Lords]].<br />
<br />
This is the city where anything goes, so long as you don't get caught. There has been a crackdown on crime in recent years and the police are everywhere in the city these days. The force responsible for patrolling and maintaining order in Liberty City and Alderney is the '''[[LCPD in GTA IV Era|Liberty City Police Department]]''' or '''LCPD'''.<br />
<br />
==== Food &amp; Drink ====<br />
Much of Liberty City's catering scene comprises of fast food chains and food stands/ vendors. Two of the most dominant fast food chains within the city are the [[Burger Shot]] and [[Cluckin' Bell]] franchises. Their restaurants can be found in several locations across the city. Hot Dog [[vendors]] can also be found in many locations, as well as a few hamburger vendors and mixed nuts vendors around Liberty City, particularly around [[Middle Park]].<br />
<br />
=== Sports Teams ===<br />
Liberty City, being one of the largest cities in GTA's America, is home to many major league sports franchises. The [[Liberty Swingers]] are the baseball team, likely based off a combination of the [[:wp:New York Mets|New York Mets]], [[:wp:New York Yankees|New York Yankees]] and [[:wp:Brooklyn Dodgers|Brooklyn Dodgers]], a basketball team, the [[Liberty City Penetrators]], which is based off the [[wp:New York Knicks|New York Knicks]], a women's basketball team, the [[Liberty City Salamanders]] (based off the [[:wp:New York Liberty|New York Liberty]], a hockey team, the [[Liberty City Rampage]], who aren't based off either pro hockey team from New York, but have a logo that's similar to an older [[:wp:Washington Capitals|Washington Capitals]] logo, albeit recolored, and a soccer team, [[Red Mist FC]], which are based off the real life New York soccer team, [[:wp:The New York Red Bulls|New York Red Bulls]].<br />
<br />
== Transportation ==<br />
[[File:BoothTunnel-GTAIV-Alderneyend.jpg|thumb|right|250px|One of the entrances to the [[Booth Tunnel]].]]<br />
The main form of transport throughout Liberty City is by road, there is a prominent [[Freeways in GTA IV|freeway]] in each borough, with two in Algonquin and another stretching from Broker to Dukes. A [[Bridges in Liberty City in GTA IV|bridge]] connects each island to [[Algonquin]], with two from Algonquin to [[Broker]] and another from [[Dukes]] to [[Bohan]].<br />
<br />
There is also an extensive [[Subway in GTA IV|subway]] system, connecting the many areas of Broker, Dukes, Algonquin, and Bohan with two main routes. One serves inner Algonquin and Bohan, the other serves outer Algonquin and Broker/Dukes.<br />
<br />
Every street in the new Liberty City has a name. All the streets on each island mean something. For example, most streets in Broker are named after famous cowboys; streets in Dukes are named after patriotic events, and streets in Algonquin are named after U.S. State Capitals.<br />
<br />
[[File:Train-GTAIV-front.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Subway lines]]<br />
Helicopters can be flown either by the player or by an NPC pilot when participating in Helitours, and Liberty City has an international airport named [[Francis International Airport in GTA IV Era|Francis International]], though the aircraft cannot be used by the player in the game. Boats can also be used to travel between the islands.<br />
<br />
{{NewLine}}<br />
<br />
== Choice of setting ==<br />
<br />
When asked why [[Rockstar Games]] decided to re-use Liberty City, [[Dan Houser]], Vice President of the company said: ''&quot;[New York City] is an environment we felt had never been done to the level we were envisioning it in a video game. From looking at all of the locations, this was the one that really stood out to us, and really had that impact. It has <br />
<br />
''&quot;The texture of the Algonquin streets, which are filled with crater-like potholes and occasional glimpses of the brick used in a world gone by, are greatly varied in design and something you can't tear your eye from. The visual makeup of the city was something we could capture real well and really understand the minute aspects of its personality. Trying to put that into a videogame is something that we think is unique to the video game medium. It was a way that we could capture some aspects of the experience of living there that you couldn't put into a film, you couldn't put into a TV show, and you couldn't put into a book.&quot;''<br />
<br />
''&quot;A big part of New York life is walking around the streets and meeting lunatics. That's something that we definitely tried to put into the game. We are trying to give it that life and difference between the neighborhoods and the difference between the kinds of people. We are tying to capture that Capital of the World aspect of New York.&quot;''<br />
<br />
''&quot;It's not the full city, it's an approximation thereof. We make a city that feels like the real thing, but is perfectly tuned for gameplay in the broadest sense. The world is not designed to be a video game. We are trying to make a video game that feels like the world, but still plays like a video game. The design of the city and the missions that unfold within it are designed hand-in-hand and complement each other perfectly. Everything in this world is here for a reason, where it is directly tied to gameplay or simply there to create atmosphere.&quot;''<br />
<br />
== GTA Chinatown Wars ==<br />
[[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] has a few differences to the Liberty City in the main console versions. This is mainly due to its top-down view, which is as a result of its design for the [[Nintendo DS]] portable platform.<br />
<br />
*The game features only the 'real' Liberty City, meaning that Alderney was removed, as well as the [[Booth Tunnel]] and the [[Hickey Bridge]].<br />
*There are no major height differences. Though changes in elevation are present, these are generally minor, and are ultimately barely more than [[Unique Stunt Jumps|unique stunt jumps]]. This has led to the removal of many [[Freeways in GTA IV|freeway overpasses]], which are replaced with double-lane roads.<br />
*The street pattern, though roughly following that of Grand Theft Auto IV, is more grid-based, with smooth turns not being accommodated for. <br />
*Street names have been omitted, most likely due to the aforementioned removal of the overpasses, Booth Tunnel, and Hickey Bridge.<br />
*Most skyscrapers only have their base rendered, as the top could not be viewed with the top-down perspective provided by GTA Chinatown Wars.<br />
*The [[Subway in GTA IV|train system]] is not usable, as stations cannot be entered. However, stations, tracks, and trains are still present.&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot; /&gt;<br />
<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
*The depiction of Liberty City in the [http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/ official website of GTA IV] has been retouched to picture the entire city, or at least its landmass, as being larger than it is in-game. Broker is seen extended further to the right, or east, and lights that stretch to the horizon are visible in this extended area, as well as behind Dukes and Algonquin. The same modification can be seen to a more limited extent to the left or west of Alderney.<br />
*[[Alderney]], based on [[:wp:New Jersey|New Jersey]] is not part of Liberty City, but is instead a separate state. This is the same as the real New Jersey, which is a separate state near New York.<br />
*Although Liberty City's landmass is smaller than that of [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]], it is the largest single city in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series.<br />
*Liberty City, as frequently claimed on the radio, supposedly holds many &quot;illegal aliens.&quot; This is the legal term for illegal immigrant. [[Niko Bellic|Niko's]] first girlfriend [[Michelle (GTA IV)|Michelle]] humorously references dating &quot;guys from another planet&quot;.<br />
*In GTA IV's rendering of Liberty City, [[Middle Park|Middle Park's]] lake takes the shape of an alien.<br />
*The phrase: &quot;This is the city where anything goes, so long as you don't get caught&quot;, is true in every sense of the word.<br />
*Although in the game, Liberty City appears to be an isolated set of islands, the rest of America is actually nearby. Rockstar Games stated that they avoided placing unreachable pieces of land in the distance to retain the city's &quot;complete&quot; feel.<br />
*In Saint's Row 2, GTA IV's rival game, a city is mentioned in one of the radio stations as &quot;Freedom City&quot;. This is obviously a parody of Liberty City, as &quot;Liberty&quot; and &quot;Freedom&quot; have the same definitions. Additionally, the player character, if idle while using female voice #2, may occasionally comment that she hasn't heard from cousin Niko in a while and wonders what he's up to. This is presumably a reference to GTA IV protagonist [[Niko Bellic]].<br />
* Liberty City is referenced numerous times in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]''. According to a [[Weazel News]] report, at some point after the events of GTA IV much of Liberty City is devastated by a storm, costing hundreds of thousands of residents their homes and vehicles. This may be a reference to the real-life Hurricane Sandy that hit the New York City/New Jersey region.<br />

'''Chop''' is a character in the [[HD Universe]] who appears as a supporting (and breifly playable) character in [[Grand Theft Auto V]] and as the [[protagonist]] of the [[Chop the Dog (game)|Chop the Dog]] application included in the real-life [[iFruit]] app. Chop is also a large asset to [[The Families]], even sporting a green collar as his gang colours and helping to catch Ballas and defend Franklin from attackers. <br />
<br />
==Character history==<br />
Chop is a [[:wp:Rottweiler|Rottweiler]] dog owned by [[Lamar Davis]] and lives in [[Strawberry]], [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]]. The two, according to Lamar, have a 'special bond' due to Lamar's Apache blood. Lamar, on at least one occasion, also gets Chop stoned. In [[2013]], Chop helps Lamar and [[Franklin Clinton]] to [[Chop (mission)|locate and kidnap]] [[D]], a [[Ballas in GTA V|Ballas]] gangster. When Lamar uses his [[iFruit]] phone they are forced to let D go with Lamar later [[Mobile Phone|phoning]] Franklin and asks him to take care of Chop. Chop then moves in with Franklin and his aunt [[Denise Clinton|Denise]] and later accompanies Lamar, Franklin and [[Trevor Philips]] to [[Grove St]], although when they are ambushed Chop runs away, returning home. When Franklin [[Hotel Assassination|moves house]] to [[3671 Whispymound Dr]] in [[Vinewood Hills]], Chop moves with him rather than going back to Lamar. Chop later accompanies Franklin in helping Trevor to locate [[Elwood O'Neil|Elwood]], [[Walton O'Neil|Walton]] and [[Wynn O'Neil]], with Chop [[Predator (mission)|locating Elwood]] allowing Franklin to kill him.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
*Chop is the first and only playable animal in the series to date.<br />
*Chop is the first animal to become a protagonist. <br />
*Chop can be killed by the player, however, he will continue to respawn at Franklin's home. Killing Chop lowers his level of happiness with Franklin.<br />
*Chop appears on the real-world [[Grand Theft Auto: iFruit|iFruit]] app where the player can provide food and water, play with and clean up after him, purchase new collars and teach new tricks. The tricks will then be available in-game, provided Chop is happy with Franklin.<br />
*Lamar's phone icon is a picture of Chop.<br />
*A [[:wp:Stuffed toy|plushie]] of Chop was made available to win in a [[Rockstar Games]] collectible giveaway and later in a [[Snapmatic]] screenshot contest.<br />
*The player can take Chop for walks and play fetch with a ball, which is provided in the [[Weapons Wheel|weapons wheel]]. Chop can also be used to located hidden items, including weapons and collectibles, and can also attack non playable characters that are targeted or attacked by Franklin. This, however, leads to a [[Wanted Level in GTA V|two-star wanted level]].<br />
*Chop is one of only four dogs to be named in the series. The others being [[Hugo]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], [[Puddles]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]] and [[Dexie]] in GTA V.<br />
*If Franklin throw's a [[grenade]], Chop will still run after it as if it's a ball, and will either die (temporarily) or become injured. In the Chop the Dog App, if Franklin throws Chop's ball off screen, he will return with a grenade in his mouth, however it will never detonate. <br />

'''Fame or Shame''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto V]], given by [[Michael De Santa]] for himself and [[Trevor Philips]].<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
As [[Michael De Santa]] is preparing himself a drink in the kitchen, he finds a brick of marijuana belonging to [[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]] in the freezer. At the same time, [[Amanda De Santa|Amanda]] walks in, asking if the marijuana belongs to him. Michael and Amanda start to have an argument about their children and marriage. During their argument, Amanda's yoga instructor [[Fabien LaRouche]] walks in. Jimmy comes into the kitchen shortly thereafter, and Michael confronts him about the weed. As Amanda stops a near-fight between her husband and son, [[Trevor Philips]] unexpectedly walks in, leaving everyone in the room shocked. As Trevor gets reacquainted with everyone, he asks where [[Tracey De Santa|Tracey]] is. Jimmy states that she is at the [[Maze Bank Arena]] auditioning for the reality talent show [[Fame or Shame]]. Not wanting Tracey to become a laughing stock on national TV, Trevor demands that he and Michael go to the arena and stop the audition.<br />
<br />
After leaving the De Santa mansion, Michael says he could probably handle the Tracey situation himself and wants to get a beer with Trevor to catch up; however, Trevor turns down the offer. On the way to the arena, Michael and Trevor argue about how they handled their lives over the past decade. Upon arriving at the arena, Trevor grabs a contestant coordinator, demanding where [[Lazlow Jones|Lazlow]] is. Michael and Trevor barge in on the auditions as Tracey is about to perform. Tracey is surprised to see Trevor, running over to him for a quick hug. Tracey then starts to do a sexually provocative dance for the judges. Michael and Trevor are not pleased to see her dancing as they abruptly stop the performance, assaulting Lazlow and a security guard in the process. Lazlow darts out of the arena, and Michael and Trevor give chase, while Tracey throws a tantrum over her ruined audition.<br />
<br />
After exiting the arena, Michael finds his car towed away, so he and Trevor steal a [[Phantom|tractor-trailer]] and chase Lazlow's [[Dilettante]] through eastern Los Santos. During the chase, Michael tells Trevor that they are going to intimidate Lazlow, but not kill him. Eventually, the chase ends up at the [[Los Santos River]], where Lazlow's car breaks down. Michael and Trevor confront Lazlow and proceed to humiliate him. After Trevor leaves the scene, Michael calls his [[FIB]] contact [[Dave Norton]] about Trevor. Agent Norton wants Michael to meet him at the [[Galileo Observatory]] as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
== Secondary objectives ==<br />
{| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br />
! Objective !! Description <br />
|-<br />
| Fastest Speed || Reach top speed in the [[Phantom]].<br />
|-<br />
| Bearing Down || Stay close to Lazlow during the chase.<br />
|-<br />
| No, I Can Park There || Knock out the event coordinator outside of the arena.<br />
|-<br />
| All Hooked Up || Do not unhook the trailer.<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
== Reward ==<br />
Upon successfully completing the mission, the player earns the &quot;A Friendship Resurrected&quot; [[Achievements in GTA V|achievement/trophy]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:Lazlow Jones.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]<br />
'''Lazlow Jones''' is a real-life American talk show host who is involved in writing and producing [[Grand Theft Auto|Grand Theft Auto games]]. He voices a character of the same name in many GTA games, and appears in person in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]; the in-game Lazlow is an insecure, ill-mannered radio host who has nonetheless managed to retain work across the GTA rendition of the [[United States of America|United States]] for over 20 years. As discussed below, Lazlow's in-game character is one of very few to crossover between the [[3D Universe]] and the [[HD Universe]].<br />
<br />
==In the GTA series==<br />
===3D Universe===<br />
<br />
Lazlow's career began in the early 1980s as an intern for the [[V-Rock]] radio station in [[Vice City in GTA Vice City|Vice City]]. He was the sidekick of then-DJ [[Cousin Ed]]. Lazlow quickly moved up the radio hierarchy and became the head DJ of VROCK, exhibiting a 'bad boy' attitude and a greatly inflated ego, the latter of which came back to bite him; he was fired from the radio station shortly after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
<br />
Lazlow re-emerged in the early 1990's on the national scene as the new host of the syndicated radio show ''[[West Coast Talk Radio|Entertaining America]]'', replacing the original host after his untimely death at the hands of a roid-raging [[Jack Howitzer]]. Lazlow lost this job due to alcoholism some time after the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].<br />
<br />
Lazlow's next known radio gig was as the host of the popular talk radio station [[Chatterbox FM]] in the late '90s, where he took calls from random listeners and interviewed eccentric guests.<br />
<br />
===HD Universe===<br />
====GTA IV====<br />
Lazlow lost his Chatterbox FM job, was divorced by his wife, got arrested for peeing at a [[Liberty City Swingers]] game in 2002 and developed a taste for exposing himself to old women on the streets; he was arrested for this in 2005. Deciding to try a return to radio, Lazlow raised enough funds in [[2008]] to start up a new radio station in [[Algonquin]], named [[Integrity 2.0]]. His program on the station involves himself exploring Algonquin and interviewing people on the streets (likely due to him not actually having a physical studio to work from); unfortunately, his interviewing manner is poor, and it seems that his fame has waned — the people on the street whom he interviews show disdain for him, and for radio in general (even &quot;Radio 2.0&quot;, as Lazlow calls it). During the show he makes a references to his real-life show, The Lazlow Show. He is always introducing Integrity 2.0 as &quot;The Lazlow Show,&quot; also, he makes a comment, &quot;...when sixteen year olds could drink and listen to metal music, you could smoke in bars, and get into high speed accidents...&quot; which is a reference to the intro of The Lazlow Show in late 2006.<br />
<br />
Lazlow is sponsored by [[ZiT]], a program that will identify songs playing on the radio; he &quot;presents&quot; the company's automated greeting messages but the ZiT adverts still make fun of his need to be in the public eye, &quot;... Our needy, washed up celebrity&quot;<br />
<br />
By 2008, Lazlow is forty-six, having been born in 1962. In the two DLCs (The Lost and Damned &amp; The Ballad of Gay Tony), ZiT has dropped sponsorship for him and he has taken a hiatus to find a sponsor for his show (this creates a continuity gap between the DLCs and GTA IV, because the three games supposedly take place at the same time, yet GTA IV's Lazlow recordings make no reference to dropping ZiT or going on hiatus). He apparently got sponsorship from his step-father, who runs a funeral service called &quot;Issac Hammerstein &amp; Daughter's Funeral Service&quot;. Lazlow apparently does not like his step-father, making fun of his profession and his daughters (which Lazlow describes as ugly and obese), accusing Issac of taking up with his mother during his dad's funeral, and called his step-father a cockface on radio. Lazlow also reveals at one point during the DLC broadcasts that he had a sister who was abducted and murdered (something he feels compelled to deny knowing anything about).<br />
<br />
He also has a LCPD record but the LCPD don't know his surname, claiming that the mystery of his surname, in the GTA world, is still unsolved and claiming the stupidity of the LCPD, as they never asked Lazlow what is his surname is.<br />
<br />
====GTA V====<br />
In [[2013]], Lazlow is the host of the show ''[[Fame or Shame]]'' and, according to the shows [[Fameorshame.net|website]] entry (seemingly written by Lazlow himself), was 'recently voted the most handsome man in America by a major online poll' leading to a new a number of film producers wanting to cast him in films. He has also written a book, which is awaiting publication. In the mission [[Fame or Shame (mission)|Fame or Shame]], [[Michael De Santa]] and [[Trevor Philips]] barge in on the Fame or Shame auditions at the [[Maze Bank Arena]]. While Michael's daughter [[Tracey De Santa|Tracey]] is performing her audition, Lazlow gets too close to her, causing Michael and Trevor to stop the audition. The two chase Lazlow out of the arena, where he is eventually confronted and humiliated by Trevor at the Los Santos River. <br />
<br />
In [[Reuniting the Family]], Lazlow is talking to Tracey in a Vinewood tattoo parlor. Lazlow tells Tracey that if she gave him a blowjob, he would give her a second chance on the show; however Michael and his son [[Jimmy De Santa|Jimmy]] show up at the parlor, and Michael pierces Lazlow's face several times, draws a phallic tattoo on either his back or chest, and clips his ponytail. Michael demands that Lazlow put Tracey back on the show unconditionally and make her look good.<br />
<br />
When [[Solomon Richards]] [[Meltdown (GTA V)|premieres]] his latest movie ''[[Meltdown (film)|Meltdown]]'' at the [[Oriental Theater]], Lazlow is seen interviewing the film's stars for [[Weazel News]]. While interviewing producer Solomon Richards, Lazlow tries to ask him about a film role, Solomon jokingly tells Lazlow that he would be perfect for a project called ''The Closet''. When Lazlow spots Michael and Jimmy, he quickly runs inside the theater to avoid the two.<br />
<br />
===Crossover continuities===<br />
Although the GTA III games and GTA IV are supposed to exist in different [[Universes]], the character of Lazlow, just as [[Fernando Martinez]], [[Jack Howitzer]], and the mascot [[Derek the Dodo]], appears to be an exception, as he makes many references to his past experiences as chronicled in the GTA III-era games, including direct references to Chatterbox and Vice City, among others. Presumably, in terms of GTA IV's storytelling, this simply indicates that those events and locations are common to both continuities. Lazlow does not make any reference to storyline events (i.e. the San Andreas riot of 1992, [[Phil Collins]] performing in Vice City in 1984), nor storyline characters. Lazlow has made more appearances than any other characters in GTA, appearing since GTA III, with the exception of GTA Advance (due to hardware limitations), as a radio DJ each time (except for GTA V in which he not only appears on the radio, but for the first time also appears on screen as a character).<br />

[[File:Lazlow.jpg|thumb|250px|Lazlow]]<br />
Behind the scenes, Lazlow is one of the writers of the game's script, providing political and cultural satire on the radio, and writing dialogue for street NPCs.<br />
<br />
''[[Grand Theft Auto III]]'' was Lazlow’s first GTA game. He produced, scripted and hosted the popular [[Chatterbox FM]] radio station. He co-wrote the other radio station dialogue with [[Dan Houser]] of [[Rockstar Games]].<br />
<br />
After gaining great popularity for his GTA III work, Lazlow took a larger role in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]''. Rockstar hired Lazlow's production company, ''Radio Lazlow'', to co-write and produce all the radio stations in GTA Vice City, as well as minor character and bystander dialogue. He was also the host of Vice City radio station [[V-Rock]], referring to a comment made offhand in ''GTA III''', that he only worked at Chatterbox &quot;because [he was] fired from the rock channel&quot;.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', he co-wrote and produced all of the in-game radio, as well as hosting ''Entertaining America'' on [[WCTR]].<br />
<br />
He also returned as host of the ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]''' version of the Chatterbox radio show, although this time his role was smaller — during the time of Liberty City Stories, Chatterbox is merely a single show on a station, not an entire station on its own.<br />
<br />
Lazlow returned in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]'' as an intern at V-Rock, working for his real life friend, [[Couzin Ed]]. Earlier in Lazlow and Couzin Eds' real-life radio careers, Lazlow was the sidekick of Couzin Ed.<br />
<br />
Lazlow returns as a member of the cast in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''. He is referred to on other channels as the host of the &quot;long-defunct&quot; Chatterbox FM, and is raising money for a new venture. This new idea, the channel [[Integrity 2.0]] (wherein Lazlow wanders [[Algonquin]] and interviews random pedestrians), goes on-air when the player gains access to Algonquin.<br />
<br />
Lazlow also arranged voice cameos in the ''Grand Theft Auto'' games for several key figures from the hacker magazine ''[[Wikipedia:2600: The Hacker Quarterly|2600]]'', including Emmanuel Goldstein, Bernie S., and Kevin Mitnick.<br />
<br />
Lazlow hosts his own show online called &quot;The Lazlow Show&quot;. The show takes place once or twice a year due to his schedule at Rockstar. The show is co-hosted by [[Reed Tucker]] and [[Big Wayne]], who have both been in GTA games. The show is available on his website, but can also be found on a boxset that features every show and bonuses. Lazlow has said that after GTA IV was released, sales of the boxset went up dramatically. The show is extremely popular thanks to Lazlow's involvement in GTA, and has aired on Krock in New York and SiriusXM.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[File:VinewoodSign-GTASA.jpg|thumb|250px|Vinewood sign]]<br />
The '''Vinewood Sign''' is a landmark in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. It is located in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] and is based on the [[:wp:Hollywood Sign|Hollywood Sign]]. In GTA:SA [[Madd Dogg|Madd Dogg's]] [[Madd Dogg's Crib|Crib]] can be found beside this sign. Meanwhile, behind this sign are two [[Weapons in GTA San Andreas|weapons]], namely the [[Cane|cane]] and the [[Golf Club|golf club]].<br />
[[File:Hollywood.jpg|thumb|left|The real Hollywood Sign]]<br />
<br />
The GTA V version of the sign is accessible by following an unpaved road. Each letter has a climbable ladder.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Although the sign says '''VINEWOOD''', it is not located in [[Vinewood in GTA III Era|Vinewood]] in GTA: SA. It is located in the district of [[Mulholland]], a somehow neighboring district of Vinewood. In GTA V, however, it is located overlooking Vinewood.<br />
<br />
[[Category: Structures]]</div>23skidoohttp://www.grandtheftwiki.com/index.php?title=Vinewood_Tour&diff=398960Vinewood Tour2014-04-04T20:35:37Z<p>23skidoo: </p>
<hr />
<div>The '''Vinewood Tour''' is a pastime available in GTA V. At certain times of the day, the Vinewood Tour bus will be parked next to the Wax Museum on Vinewood Boulevard and a bus icon will appear. For a fee of $40, the character can take a tour (lasting approximately 15 minutes of real time) past a number of landmarks in the vicinity (including several homes of the stars in [[Vinewood Hills]]), as a female tour guide talks about the area's sordid history (most of her anecdotes involve sexual or drug misadventures).<br />
<br />
About a dozen locations are featured in the tour, and the player can choose to skip to the next one or allow the bus to drive between each location. During the drive between locations, the tour guide and passengers will make random remarks about Vinewood. <br />
<br />
One stop of note is Vinewood's [[Epsilon]] headquarters, and the tour guide will reveal she is a member.<br />
<br />
During the tour, the player can toggle between first-person or third person view; in third-person view the camera will automatically focus on highlighted locations; the first-person view offers only limited visibility due to the character sitting behind a wall of the bus. The tour ends at the same location from which it starts.<br />
<br />
Completing the bus tour does not appear to be necessary for 100% completion.<br />
<br />
Due to its length, generally starting the tour during daylight hours means much of the tour will take place after dark. Taking the tour, while not necessarily valuable from a &quot;lay of the land&quot; perspective, is a good way to enjoy the game universe and AI design while letting someone else drive in a non-mission setting.<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Vinewood Bowl''' is an amphitheatre located in the [[Vinewood Hills]] district of [[Los Santos in GTA V|Los Santos]] in [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. It is based on the [[wp:Hollywood Bowl|Hollywood Bowl]]. Similar to their real-life counterparts, the [[Vinewood Sign]] is visible from the seating area of the Vinewood Bowl. It is accessible from the [[Los Santos Freeway]] (Interstate 1) off the Vinewood Park Drive exit. The reality talent show [[Fame or Shame]] is filmed at Vinewood Bowl for the competition proper.<br />
<br />
== Role in the GTA V plot ==<br />
The Vinewood Bowl is the setting for [[Lifeinvader]]'s keynote address for unveiling their [[Friend Request|prototype smartphone]]; during the address, Lifeinvader founder and CEO [[Jay Norris]] is assassinated on live national television when the phone explodes.<br />
<br />
One of random locations where Michael may be found when reloading a game or switching characters is arguing with a cop on a park bench outside the Bowl's main gate.<br />

'''Father/Son''' is a mission in [[Grand Theft Auto V]], given by [[Michael De Santa]] for himself and [[Franklin Clinton]].<br />
<br />
== Mission ==<br />
[[Amanda De Santa|Amanda]] and [[Tracey De Santa|Tracey]] are having an argument in the kitchen over Tracey's boyfriend while Michael sits by the pool with a drink and smoke at hand, putting on earbuds to drown out his wife and daughter. Shortly thereafter, Franklin arrives, trying take up Michael's offer for a beer from [[Complications|their first meeting]]. Michael said he was only joking about that, and the two have a short conversation. Eventually, Michael does decide to take Franklin out for a beer when Jimmy calls, stating that he is in Michael's [[Marquis|yacht]], and the boat is being stolen after Jimmy attempts to sell it. Angry, Michael and Franklin drive off in Amanda's [[Sentinel|car]] to chase down the yacht on the freeway.<br />
<br />
After catching up to the boat, Franklin climbs aboard the boat to dispatch the thieves; however, Jimmy is hanging on the sail, above the roadway. Michael drives under the sail to catch Jimmy in the backseat and then retrieves Franklin. Michael and Franklin proceed to chase down the boat and the thieves; however, Amanda's car breaks down, forcing them to go to the [[Los Santos Customs]] shop near the [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|airport]]. Michael asks Franklin to call him a [[taxi]] since he is angry at Jimmy for losing his boat and wants to vent in peace. Franklin and Jimmy then repair Amanda's car and return it to the De Santa estate. After dropping Jimmy and his mom's car at the De Santa house, Jimmy asks Franklin if they can hang out, and Franklin states that he would think about it.<br />

*The song which Michael listens to on his iFruit Phone is &quot;I Don't Care Anymore&quot; by [[Phil Collins]], which appears on [[Los Santos Rock Radio]].<br />
*After Franklin drops off Jimmy, if the player then immediately switches to Michael, he will be ''driving'' the taxi he hailed earlier, with no sign of what happened to the cab driver.<br />

Motorists on the Del Perro Freeway were thrown into a panic when a high-speed gun battle broke out between two vehicles, one of which was carrying a yacht. What sparked the clash and the identity of the two groups of men involved is not yet known, but this leads us to our reader poll of the day: &quot;Is a drive-by shootout over a luxury yacht a sign that Los Santos is in economic crisisi, or out of economic crisis?&quot;}}<br />

The '''Liberty City Police Department''' ('''LCPD''') in the [[GTA IV Era]], is the police department for [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], which share the same rendition of [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. The LCPD is based on the [[wikipedia:New York City Police Department|New York City Police Department (NYPD)]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
The Liberty City Police Department is around 40,000 officers strong, with many different roles, most notably on beat patrol all throughout [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. They reign in a &quot;complete operational&quot; status over Liberty City, meaning they are the single law enforcement organization in the whole city, besides the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]] and [[NOOSE]]. The department is then organized into different divisions. They include Highway Patrol Units (while usually freeway/bridge duties are transferred to a State Police agency), tactical response units from [[NOOSE]] tactical units, aviation units, plain clothes units and the harbour units. The Aviation Unit of the LCPD (formed in 2001) has a fleet of several [[Police Maverick|helicopters]] (consisting of [[Maverick]] type copters) which are on constant patrol. Aviation assistance can be summoned from one of the four stations with aviation facilities. The [[Police Maverick]]s can be seen often in the skies of Liberty City, most often patrolling with [[Annihilator|NOOSE Annihilators]] above major bridges such as the [[Hickey Bridge]] and [[East Borough Bridge]]. The LCPD is otherwise underfunded, unable to afford specialized pursuit vehicles and as a result have to use their regular patrol cars to chase suspects. They often injure or kill the very citizens they are assigned to &quot;protect and serve&quot; - many police cars accidentally hit and/or kill civilians while chasing the player.<br />
<br />
[[File:EastHollandpolicedepartment-GTAIV-exterior.jpg|left|thumb|325px|View of the front of the massive LCPD station in [[East Holland]].]]<br />
The LCPD is known for its ''very'' aggressive techniques in pursuing crime, most notably, saturating an affected area of high crime rate with dozens of officers and patrol cars. They take the famous [[wp:NYPD|NYPD]] rationale of having a large police presence ensuring prevention and quick response. In times of emergency they respond appropriately, and pour all available resources into stopping or containing an incident. The LCPD (along with NOOSE and the FIB) become extremely aggressive when the player is wanted, and continue to shoot at the player even after the protagonist has died and &quot;grayed out&quot;. While chasing criminals, the player or occasionally whilst driving, police vehicles hit civilians with their cars.<br />
<br />
LCPD officers are sometimes seen writing tickets (as noticed around [[Middle Park]] and in Highway Patrol duties on the various bridges where they await speeders). Officers on foot patrol are sometimes seen chasing and apprehending criminals, which after they are caught, a radio car is contacted to take the criminal away for processing. The LCPD is also on an active recruiting campaign, with &quot;Join The LCPD&quot; posters and billboards at select locations throughout the city, and adorning the front of the LCPD [[The Triangle]]/[[Star Junction]] Sub-Station, (which is in front of a Liberty City Services Booth). They also appear in the streets if the player dials 911 to summon a police car with two officers inside. One officer will check around for any incidents. If a criminal attacks an officer, two officers wield pistols and pursue the criminal and catch the protagonist at gunpoint. If there aren't any criminals around, they will get back inside the vehicle and leave. Unlike civilians, who report crimes via the telephone, a lengthy process, police sightings are reported immediately. Further crime, attacking a police officer, and evading arrest will increase the player's [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]]. At two stars, police cars are sent to the area. At three stars, NOOSE vehicles are deployed, as well as police maverick-type helicopters. At four stars, NOOSE Annihilators and FIB Buffalos, complete with four FIB Special Agents in body armor and equipped with automatic weapons, are deployed. LCPD officers are authorized to commandeer civilian vehicles to continue chasing a suspect or respond to an emergency, often stating it as &quot;Official Police Business&quot; to the driver as they pull them out of the car.<br />

&lt;/gallery&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
=== Vehicles ===<br />
In GTA IV, LCPD officers on the streets commonly drive two variants of police cars: The [[Police Patrol]] and the [[Police Cruiser]], which serve as their primary pursuit vehicle of choice when the player attains a 1-star or 2-star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]], and will continue to appear in conjunction with [[NOOSE]] and [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]] forces in a 3-star wanted level or higher. In GTA Chinatown Wars, the LCPD is only equipped with the Police Patrol (although game art of both the Police Patrol and Police Cruiser are still used when the player is [[Busted]]), and only appears up to a 4-star wanted level (alongside [[Enforcer|NOOSE Enforcers]]), as the FIB takes over at 5 stars.<br />
<br />
The LCPD also extends their authority in the air in GTA IV with the use of [[Police Maverick]]s, which commonly patrol the sky even when the player does not have a wanted level. [[Police Maverick]] will occasionally join a 1 or 2 star wanted level when they happen to be within close proximity of the player, but the helicopter is certain to appear only when the player has a 3-star wanted level; the NOOSE's [[Annihilator]] takes over from 5 stars onwards. At sea, the LCPD is equipped with [[Predator]] boats, which only appear when the player is wanted at any level. The boats carry two more officers armed with rifles at the back, opening fire at the player.<br />
<br />
[[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] also includes two more LCPD vehicles, the [[Police Buffalo]] (named &quot;Police Cruiser&quot; in game) and the [[Police Bike]], a police motorcycle. Both vehicles are not used by LCPD officers, and are only available in The Ballad of Gay Tony multiplayer. A third police vehicle, the [[Police Stinger]], does not bear the LCPD's signature blue-and-white livery, but does sport the LCPD logo.<br />

&lt;/gallery&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;<br />
<br />
=== Weapons and other portable equipment ===<br />
Police officers carry a range of equipment. As a weapon of defense, a collapsed ASP extendible baton is in place on the officer's utility belts but officers do not utilize the weapon at all. The baton is reinstated in the GTA Chinatown Wars rendition of the LCPD. The standard issue police firearm is a Glock 22 [[pistol]]. This is used when making arrests, pursuing suspects and self defense. If an officer is disarmed, they will resort to using their fists to defend themselves. If an officer is patrolling in a vehicle, and the suspect has a two star wanted level or more, the officer carries an Ithaca 37 [[pump shotgun]]. Officers patrolling at places of high security such as The [[Statue of Happiness]], [[Civilization Committee]] Headquarters, and the [[Rotterdam Tower]] stations carry MP-10 [[SMG]] (only in missions) and [[M16|M4A1]] Carbine assault rifles, which are a good deterrent of terrorist activity and crime. When the suspect has a five star wanted level or more, officers will attempt to shoot the player with [[PSG-1]] sniper rifles from rooftops, specifically those in [[Chinatown, Algonquin|Chinatown]] and [[The Exchange]].<br />
<br />
The police also carry personal radios in order to report crimes and call for assistance - they can sometimes be seen talking into them while patrolling, as can Security Guards.<br />
<br />
=== Uniforms ===<br />
The uniforms of the LCPD resemble that of the famous [[wp:New York Police Department|New York Police Department (NYPD)]].<br />
Depending on the in-game weather, the officers may be wearing different uniforms, such as a raincoat marked &quot;LCPD&quot; and a white hat cover. Officers uniforms are generally navy blue with black buttons. Officers can wear either a long sleeve, short sleeve, or short sleeve with a long sleeve black under shirt. Officers also have the choice of wearing hats, ties and either leather or normal police jackets. The officer's tie clips have &quot;LCPD&quot; engraved in the middle. Officers who wear sky blue shirts, as opposed to navy blue shirts, are traffic enforcement officers, as seen by the different badge and patch on the officers with sky blue shirts. Despite the fact the game classifies them as traffic enforcement officers, they do not perform the usual duties of traffic enforcement officers, such as issuing citations. Traffic enforcement officers, unlike their real-life counterparts, are armed.<br />
<br />
Alderney Police wear different uniforms than Liberty City police, despite being from the same department. Alderney police uniforms bear resemblance to those of the [[wp:New Jersey State Police|New Jersey State Police (NJSP)]]. However, their stations bear the LCPD logo, as do their vehicles.<br />
<br />
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;<br />

&lt;/gallery&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;<br />
<br />
== Website ==<br />
The in-game [[Internet in GTA IV|Internet]] features an official LCPD website which can be found at [[Libertycitypolice.com|www.libertycitypolice.com]]. The website features a secret link at the bottom of the page to the [[LCPD Database|criminal database]], which contains profiles for all characters in the game.<br />
<br />
== Logo ==<br />
[[File:LCPD-GTAIV-logo-full.png|200px|right]]<br />
When looking closely at the police logo it can clearly be noticed that the LCPD are known for police brutality. In the middle of the logo, two officers are shown with batons dragging a man on the floor. Below this the scales of justice are weighing a coffee cup and a doughnut. Alderney Police bear a State Police logo on their shoulder pads, the same as [[wp:New Jersey State Police|NJSP]], although the stations bear the LCPD logos, as do their vehicles.<br />
<br />
== Police in Scripted Missions ==<br />
Sometimes, police (during missions) just appear in a certain mission for another purpose rather than to attack the player, this happens through out the entire storyline of [[GTA IV]] to [[GTA Chinatown Wars]]. One of the reasons for this is to add an even more since of realism to the gameplay and also the theme of the story.<br />
<br />
=== Police Scripted Missions in GTA IV ===<br />
<br />
(This list starts with GTA IV and ends with The Ballad of Gay Tony).<br />
* [[Jamaican Heat]] - After you've killed all the gang members, two police officers will arrive and run onto the opposite side of the street you're on.<br />
* [[Crime and Punishment]] - After the second half of the cutscene, if [[Niko Bellic]] runs up the street he will see a police cruiser stop in front of a house an run into the backyard.<br />
* [[Rigged to Blow]] - Once you blow up the garage, a police cruiser and a fire truck will surround the area.<br />
* [[Russian Revolution]] - When [[Dimitri Rascalov]] and [[Ray Bulgarin]] leave the building, officers will spawn outside, ready to attack [[Little Jacob]] and you.<br />
* [[Union Drive]] - While chasing the black-mailers, a police cruiser will attempt to chase the black-mailers, causing the cruiser to get flipped over in the process.<br />
* [[Buoys Ahoy]] - While chasing the hitmen, the police will attempt to interfere and accidentally blow themselves up in the process.<br />
<br />
=== The Lost and Damned ===<br />
<br />
* [[It's War]] - After killing the first gang, the police will show up to investigate the crime but will not harm the player.<br />
* [[Action/Reaction]] - Once the last cutscene is finished, [[Johnny Klebitz|Johnny]] leaves the area quickly, having that cops are going to show up and give him a wanted level if he attempted to stay.<br />
* [[This Shit's Cursed]] - The Police Radio can be heard after shooting a triad or two off the top of the roof, causing then a cutscene to show [[Billy Grey]] being arrested (the last police radio also says that he is incarcerated).<br />
<br />
=== The Ballad of Gay Tony ===<br />
<br />
* [[Boulevard Baby]] - Can appear when you leave the club, but leave quickly because if you don't, you get a wanted level. <br />
* [[Clocking Off]] - The officers will appear when [[Luis Lopez]], [[Armando Torres]], and [[Henrique Bardas]] leaves the area with the drugs.<br />
* [[No. 3]] - They appear through the second half of the mission but they never actually hurt the player while he has the three-star wanted level.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* On the [[Rockstar Games Social Club]] website, players can find the &quot;LCPD Blotter&quot;, which lists statistics about crimes committed by GTA IV players as a whole.<br />
* In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the LCPD patrol in [[Alderney]]. However, Alderney is a separate state from [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]]. The only difference between the Liberty City police and Alderney police is the uniform and sometimes, the accent of the officers.<br />
* At higher [[wanted level]]s (five and six stars), the LCPD seem to begin disappearing as more [[Federal Bureau of Investigation#Grand Theft Auto IV|FIB]] and [[NOOSE]] officers begin to show up. This may indicate that the LCPD are too afraid of death to take on the player, or simply are handing over the chase to the better prepared and more capable law enforcement agencies.<br />
* When the player has a three star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]], the officer talking through the tannoy of the [[Police Maverick|police helicopter]] often shouts &quot;This is the L'''PC'''D!&quot;, when in fact it should be ''L'''CP'''D''. This could indicate that the helicopter pilots care less about shouting LCPD to the player than normal officers.<br />
* At the LCPD station in East Holland, If the player enters the parking lot in the back and ascends the stairs up to the helipad, he/she can find one to three officers surrounding a body.<br />
* On the beach in the Northwestern corner of Bohan, you can sometimes find one lone officer standing next to a body.<br />
* GTA IV is unique for letting the player be able to shoot the gun off an enemy without killing the enemy. If the player shoots any weapons other than a pistol off from the officer, he will pull out a pistol. If the player shoots the pistol off from the officer, the officer would flee. This also applies to the FIB and NOOSE.<br />
* In [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], police officers are more aggressive, doing drive-bys at 4 stars instead of 5 stars and wielding more powerful weaponry such as [[Assault SMG]]s and [[Explosive Shotgun|Automatic Shotguns]]. Officers also wield [[Advanced MG]]s from helicopters.<br />
* If you choose to go out the front of the hospital in the mission [[The Snow Storm]], one of the officers will wield a [[Combat Shotgun]], uncharacteristic, as the standard-issue shotgun is the [[Pump Shotgun]]<br />
* The telephone number for LCPD recruitment is 555-RECRUIT (555-732-7848). It can be dialled, but there will be no answer.<br />
* A pistol can be seen in police officers' holsters. These are part of the character model and so will stay in the holster even when the officer has drawn their pistol.<br />
* According to the GTA Chinatown Wars manual, the LCPD runs a &quot;Guns For Ca$h&quot; amnesty program, sponsored by [[Ammu-Nation]].<br />
* The Star Junction/Triangle substation resembles the US military recruitment station that exists in the real Times Square. Coincidentally, in 2008 - the year GTA IV is set - the station was the site of a bombing incident.[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/18/2008-times-square-bombing_n_3461254.html]<br />

<br />
The '''Wanted Level in GTA III Era''' is a measure of how much the player is wanted by the law enforcement of their respective area, and therefore how much force will be used in pursuit of the player. As the player's wanted level increases, more powerful forms of law enforcement will pursue him. In [[GTA III Era]] games, wanted level is measured on a six-star scale, ranking police lethality from the non-lethal one star to the extremely aggressive, and sometimes lethal, six stars. <br />
<br />
Committing several minor crimes in quick succession - such as beating pedestrians up, destroying cars, etc - will earn him one star. Continuing to commit crimes or resisting arrest will often lead to a second star, and will increase. Committing serious crimes (for example, throwing a grenade into a large crowd of bystanders) often earns the player multiple wanted stars outright.<br />
<br />
If the player has one or more wanted stars, nearby [[police]] will give chase and attempt to arrest the player. If the police have successfully arrested the player, the message &quot;[[Busted]]&quot; will appear on the player's screen. An arrest is executed by either knocking or throwing (in the case of vehicular arrests) the player onto the ground and holding him at gunpoint, or by opening the player's car door and holding him at gunpoint. In both cases, the player has no choice but to give up. If arrested, the player is transported to the nearest police station and is released some time later. After the player is released, he will lose $100 and all of his weapons and armor will be confiscated (except in GTA San Andreas after [[Girlfriends in GTA San Andreas|dating]] [[Barbara Schternvart]] in which case your weapons will not be confiscated. In GTA Vice City Stories, you can buy back the weapons for $2000.)<br />
<br />
The player's wanted level can be decreased various ways. A one-star wanted level will disappear on its own if the player &quot;lies low&quot; for a while (stays out of sight and doesn't commit a crime). Higher wanted levels can be lost through picking up [[Police Bribes]] (each one reduces the player's wanted level by one star), running a vehicle through a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] or going to airport and buying a plane ticket to another city in San Andreas. You can also see [[#Lowering Your Stars|Lowering Your Stars]] for more ways.<br />
<br />
It is notoriously difficult to survive higher wanted levels without the use of [[Cheats|cheats]] or modifications. In all [[GTA III Era]] games, there are cheats to raise and lower wanted levels. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], there is a cheat to prevent the player from even obtaining a wanted level at all. However, the player can still get attacked by the police at the police impound stations.<br />
<br />
A wanted level is cumulative — repeatedly committing &quot;one-star&quot; crimes within sight of police may lead to a two-star rating, and so on. It is possible to reach a six-star wanted level by simply shooting and killing a lot of pedestrians, but some crimes are more serious than others, and some can earn more stars outright.<br />
<br />
As the player's Wanted Level increases, law enforcement spends less energy trying to arrest the player and more trying to kill the player at all costs. As such, it is almost impossible to get arrested at a Wanted Level of three stars or higher, although police will still attempt vehicular arrests if the opportunity arises. <br />
<br />
<br />
==One Star==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A one-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a one star wanted level, any [[police|police officer]] that spots the player will give chase and attempt to arrest him. The police will attempt to knock the player down with their fists (in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]]) and [[nightstick]]s (in other [[GTA III Era]] games). They also do not shoot unless they are threatened by the player (in GTA San Andreas, if you are holding a gun or a thrown weapon, officers will shoot at you, and also if you run over an officer but not getting killed). An exception to this rule is if you are inaccessible to the police officer; for example if you are standing on top of a vehicle, he will pull out his gun and start shooting. [[Police Car|Police cars]] will follow the player, but they can be easily outrun. If the player stays out of sight and does not commit anymore crimes, a one-star wanted level expires on its own. If the player is on foot, police will exit their vehicle and chase you on foot. Only one police officer will give chase on foot at a time even if there are multiple officers in the vicinity.<br />
<br />
A one-star wanted level is attained by committing the following minor crimes. Many of these will not immediately result in a wanted level unless a police officer(even the corpse of a police) is around to witness them or multiple offences are committed in quick succession:<br />
<br />
:* Attacking and/or killing pedestrians<br />
:* Damaging and/or destroying a vehicle<br />
:* Attacking or shooting a police vehicle (always results in a wanted level even when out of sight, doesn't trigger with the Police Maverick or FBI/Army vehicles)<br />
:* Crashing into a police vehicle (crashing into an empty/parked police car will not result in a wanted level)<br />
:* Firing a weapon in public<br />
:* Revving a chainsaw in public (Except [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]) <br />
:* Using a [[Molotov Cocktail]] in public<br />
:* Carjacking or stealing parked vehicles within a certain proximity from a police officer (no wanted level is given if the vehicle is locked, including police cars)<br />
:* Attempting to steal a police vehicle (except [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]])<br />
:* Driving a vehicle with the alarm going off<br />
:* Selling multiple ice cream cones during ''[[Distribution]]'' ([[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]])<br />
:* Robbing stores for the minimum amount of cash ([[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]])<br />
:* Killing several people in a short time (usually more than 3)<br />
<br />
==Two Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-TwoStar.png|thumb|right|333px|A two star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a two-star wanted level, the police start actively searching for the player. Officers now shoot to kill, including when you're unarmed, and each patrol car is occupied by two officers. Officers in cars now give chase rather than simply follow behind and often try to overtake or spin the player out. On water, [[Predator|armed police boats]] give chase.<br />
<br />
Two wanted stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Aiming a gun at a police officer (In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]] you will get a one star)<br />
:* Injuring 2 or more police officers<br />
:* Destroying many cars at once<br />
:* Killing many people in a short period of time<br />
:* Displaying a firearm inside a police station in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]] (a melee weapon will not warrant a wanted level)<br />
:* Destroying any aircraft in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]]<br />
:* Trespassing in the Washington Beach Police Station ([[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]) (unless wearing the cop uniform)<br />
:* Run over a police officer with a vehicle in fast speed([[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]])<br />
:* Attacking a police officer by [[knife]], [[machete]], [[katana]], [[chainsaw]], [[flamethrower]], explosives<br />
<br />
==Three Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-ThreeStar.png|thumb|right|300px|A three-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a three-star wanted level, pursuing police vehicles become more aggressive, driving at maximum speed, and the police will also begin to set up armed roadblocks on main roads. A [[Police Maverick|police helicopter]] is also called in to assist and its crew follows the player, putting a spotlight on the protagonist (at night), and shoots at the player via an invisible machine gun on the fuselage if they get a clear shot and yell various humourous remarks over a loudspeaker. Police officers begin to deploy spike strips to puncture the player's tires, making driving difficult. In GTA San Andreas, from this wanted level on, officers who come out of either a [[Police Car]] or [[Ranger]] will also ocassionally wield [[Pump Action Shotgun|shotguns]]. Additionally, in [[Grand Theft Auto Vice City|Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], undercover 'Vice Squad' detectives armed with Uzis and driving [[VCPD Cheetah|Cheetahs]] also give chase.<br />
<br />
Three wanted stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement (evading capture or death by any means)<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage (killing civilians and destroying vehicles)<br />
:* Entering police impound garages in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]]<br />
:* Blowing up an AI controlled full-winged [[Dodo]] (the ''[[DeadDodo]]'') in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]<br />
:* [[Trucking]] hot goods in San Andreas<br />
<br />
==Four Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-Four star.png|thumb|right|300px|A four-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a four-star wanted level, the police will drive more aggressively and [[SWAT]] teams join the chase. SWAT members wear body armor and are armed with Uzi sub-machine guns. Roadblocks now consist of the heavier and larger [[Enforcer|SWAT vans]], making them more difficult to ram through. The pursuing police helicopter fires at the player more frequently and, from [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] onwards, [[:wp:Rappelling|rappels]] SWAT members down to the player's location. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], the police helicopter is often joined by a [[News Chopper]], and [[Hydra|military jets]] now pursue and attempt to shoot down the player if he is flying an aircraft.<br />
<br />
Four wanted stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage<br />
:* Entering a city or region not yet unlocked in the storyline in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]]<br />
:* Blowing up the police helicopter which appears at a three star wanted level (not to be confused with the player-operable [[Police Maverick]])<br />
:* Entering the [[Restricted Areas|restricted area]] of [[El Banco Corrupto Grande]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]<br />
:* Breaking out [[Cam Jones]] in the mission [[No Escape?]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
<br />
==Five Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-Five star.png|thumb|right|300px|A five-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a five-star wanted level, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] takes over the chase and completely replaces local police on the ground (local police will still chase the player if they see him) and the streets begin to clear of civilians (In GTA Liberty City Stories, however, there are still lots of pedestrians in the streets). Four-FBI teams of heavily armed and armored FBI agents drive armored cars and SUVs and make for formidable opponents. The FBI agents are armed with [[AK-47|AK-47s]] and 9mm handguns in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[MP5|MP5s]] in later games. Their driving is even more aggressive and they usually opt to ram the player's vehicle head on at high speed and then batter it to pieces before he/she can recover. In [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], the pursuing police helicopter is joined by a second, and both stick to the player doggedly and fire at the protagonist whenever they get the chance. The roadblocks now consist of FBI vehicles, which are easier to ram through, but the FBI agents' MP5s tear through most [[vehicles]] fairly quickly. The waters are saturated with [[Predator|Predators]] at this wanted-level. Trespassing inside a military base will release a five star wanted level and cops swarm in and attempt to kill the player. The FBI are particularly perilous to engage, as their SMGs are likely to make short work of the player's getaway vehicle. Due the increased risk of being shot to death, use of a motorcycle as a getaway vehicle is especially not recommended. All officers employ more advanced driving techniques, such as the PIT maneuver, as they try to make the player spin out of control and crash.<br />
<br />
<br />
Five stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage<br />
:* Entering or flying over a restricted area,such as over the [[Easter Basin Naval Station]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]<br />
:* Entering or flying over (at low-altitude) the [[Area 69]] research base in GTA San Andreas. Doing this will results not only in the wanted level, but also attack from SAM Sites and enemy [[Hydra|Hydras]].<br />
:* Blowing up the Tarbrush Cafe in the mission [[Cop Land]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Six Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAIII-Sixstar.png|thumb|right|300px|A six-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].]]<br />
At six stars, the National Guard will take over from the FBI and will give chase in [[Barracks OL]] trucks and [[Rhino]] tanks, making travel in ordinary vehicles extremely hazardous. Civilians have almost completely disappeared from the streets at this point (In GTA Liberty City Stories, however, there are still lots of pedestrians in the streets), and the soldiers drive with total disregard for anything but ramming the player into oblivion. Roadblocks now consist of Barracks OL trucks. At six stars, police helicopters rule the skies, the sea is thick with police boats and in addition to the army, police officers are everywhere - appearing from all directions in large numbers. If the player cannot get to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] with a suitable vehicle, stealing a [[Rhino|tank]] or taking to the skies in a helicopter and trying to pick up police bribes around the city are often the only practical options for reducing a six-star wanted level. The Army soldiers carry [[M16|M16s]], [[MP5|MP5s]] or [[M16|M4s]] depending on the game. Unlike in the story mode where enemies often miss, the soldiers are pinpoint crackshots, and a gunfight is considered suicide as the army will take the player down very fast. Survival and escape is most difficult, and a very fast and/or durable vehicle is recommended. All law enforcement vehicles fire upon and ram the player relentlessly with very little regard for collateral damage. On foot, the player must move and/or retaliate quickly to avoid being cut down by gunfire; however, fleeing is the better option when pitted against several officers. <br />
<br />
Six stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
===Reducing a wanted level===<br />
* Go to any nearest [[safehouse]], [[asset]] or save point and save the game. Then, load it again. (GTA Vice City onwards)<br />
* Collect [[Police Bribe|police bribes]] around the city.<br />
* At a one star wanted level, go to an alleyway or remote place that people don't usually hang out and wait; within a couple of minutes the star will go away on its own. (However, this becomes more difficult in the later stages of GTA: San Andreas when there is a greater police presence in Los Santos; sometimes the only way to get rid of a one-star wanted level in this part of the game while in that city is to use a safehouse, Pay 'n' Spray or head for the country.)<br />
* Enter a safehouse and change outfits. (GTA Vice City onwards) Note, however, that this does not always work in San Andreas on a 2-star wanted level or higher.<br />
* Go to a clothing shop and change clothes. (GTA San Andreas)<br />
* [[Pay n Spray|Respray]] a [[vehicles|car]] in any [[Pay 'n' Spray]] garage. (certain vehicles, however, like Military, police, SWAT, FBI and emergency vehicles cannot be resprayed). Also, committing crimes while the stars are flashing will reinstate the wanted level.<br />
* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], [[Mod Garages|mod]] a vehicle at [[TransFender]], [[Loco Low Co.]] and [[Wheel Arch Angels]]; one modification (such as one respray) will suspend the wanted level. Any other modifications done while the stars are flashing will make them disappear.<br />
* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], start the [[Freight Train Challenge|freight train challenge]] and the wanted level will instantly clear.<br />
* In GTA San Andreas, if the player enters a region that has not yet been unlocked, receiving the 4-star level, and then re-enters the unlocked region, the wanted level drops to 3 stars and can be reduced further using bribes, saving, etc. However the wanted rating cannot be reduced while the player remains in the locked region: picking up a bribe will briefly drop the rating to 3 stars, and taking a vehicle to a pay n' spray will reduce the level, but then the game re-registers the player's trespass and reinstates the 4-star rating; safehouses are not available until a region is officially unlocked.<br />
* In most cases, completing a mission ill instantly cancel any wanted level attained; there are some missions, however, that are programmed not to do this.<br />
<br />
===Getaway vehicles===<br />
*On a 2 to 4 star wanted level, a sports (also a muscle or a tuner) car is a better vehicle to be used as its speed easily outruns most police vehicles.<br />
*On a 5 star wanted level, where [[FBI Rancher]]s tend to knock the player off road, heavy vehicles are recommended since their size makes them difficult to be pushed around.<br />
*On a 6 star wanted level, a [[Rhino]], if the player manages to attain one, is the best means of escape since any vehicles that runs into it will simply explode (except motorbikes in GTA San Andreas, but the player can be knocked off of one easily). Even Rhinos themselves are not all that durable against other Rhinos, as this vehicle can only be damaged by hitting another Rhino, or fire (making Molotov Cocktails an unlikely, but practical choice of weapon if one has good cover).<br />
*A slow vehicle is NOT be recommended for a 3 to 6 wanted star level.<br />
*If the player is skilled at driving a motorcycle, using a [[PCJ-600]] or, in GTA San Andreas, the [[NRG-500]], can often be the best choice as the fast bikes allow overland travel and jumping and speed that can facilitate escapes to save points or other safety areas.<br />
*It is best to avoid using the [[Angel]] or the [[Freeway]] to escape a four star wanted level or higher, as they have wide turning radii and they don't brake well, meaning that the player will have to use their brakes frequently, allowing law enforcement officers to catch up to them. <br />
*It is also best to avoid using the [[Pizza Boy]], [[NoodleBoy]] or the [[Faggio]] to escape a four star or higher wanted level. Although these scooters have excellent handling and braking, they have a low top speed and horrible acceleration, meaning it is near impossible to outrun the law enforcement vehicles. It also makes it easier for law enforcement to bust the player.<br />
*When attempting to avoid the police by driving through alleyways or by off roading, the [[Sanchez]] is a good option to take, as it is an excellent off roader, is small and nimble, and has excellent acceleration and handling, with a moderate top speed.<br />
<br />
===Others===<br />
*Before unlocking [[Vice City Mainland]] in GTA Vice City or [[Staunton Island]] in GTA III, the player can only attain 4 star wanted level at maximum.<br />
*At high wanted levels, prioritize escaping from or killing [[Military|soldiers]] (six stars), [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents (five stars) , [[SWAT]] soldiers (four star onwards) and [[Vice Squad]] Agents (three star wanted level, GTA VC and GTA VCS only) over killing regular police officers, as they can kill a player with with their weapons in a short amount of time. <br />
*At higher levels, the best way to clear the wanted level is to shoot down the police helicopters, and sneak into a Pay 'n' Spray before they respawn. Another good strategy is to enter the subway system (GTA III and GTA LCS only) with a vehicle (preferably a motorbike) and follow the underground routes until they reach a Pay 'n' Spray (or lose the wanted level, if the player has a one star), but the player must be careful not to get lost in the system or getting hit by the oncoming Subway Trains. <br />
*Stunt jumping gives the player considerable distance from the police but may not guarantee total escape, as certain factors, such as the wanted level, environment of the stunt jump, &quot;projectile&quot; motion concept of physics, and the position of other police units, come into play. <br />
*The player can listen to the police radio while being chased; it will indicate which vehicles the police are sending after the protagonist. The &quot;dispatched from [location]&quot; gives the general spawning point for police vehicles. Some are: &quot;Dispatch X (number of police units, usually 2-6) units from __&quot;, &quot;Dispatch Air Unit from __&quot;, &quot;Dispatch FBI team from __&quot; and &quot;Dispatch SWAT team from __&quot;. <br />
*Run through alleys and narrow streets to give the cops the slip. <br />
*To save money, only use the Pay 'n' Spray if you have a wanted level of at least 4 stars, as it is easy to escape 1 and 2 star wanted levels (and occasionally 3 stars, depending on the location of the Police Maverick). <br />
*Hijack a law enforcement vehicle whenever a wanted level of at least 3 stars is obtained. That way, you can hear where the Police, FBI and SWAT will send reinforcements and where they are waiting to ambush you.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], it is possible for the player to get arrested without having any wanted level stars. If the player punches the air in front of a police officer (without actually hitting the police officer), he will think the player hit him. While no wanted level stars appear, the police officer will kick the player to the ground and arrest the player.<br />
*Sometimes, if the player types in the &quot;remove wanted level&quot; cheat, even though the player no longer has a wanted level, sometimes the police will continue to attack the player as if he had one.<br />
*If the player enters a building, exiting it will cause all cops chasing you to appear in front of a building.<br />
*There are instances in GTA San Andreas that if you do not stop running while your 2-star Wanted Level changes into a 3-star, a police chopper can appear on the ground as if its rotors are the only thing revealed. <br />
*In GTA San Andreas, if you have a 4-star wanted level or higher and use the &quot;turndowntheheat&quot; cheat and get another wanted level under 3 stars, any SWAT, Army or FBI in the area will not go after you or shoot you unless you attack them.<br />
*In GTA San Andreas, at a 3-star or higher wanted level, officers who come out of a [[Police Car]] or [[Ranger]] will occasionally wield shotguns. Even if an officer does wield a shotgun, entering the car the officer came out of will still add 5 shells to the players' shotgun ammo and will still result in the player obtaining a [[Pump Action Shotgun]] provided he already doesn't have a shotgun.<br />

==One Star==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC.jpg|thumb|right|300px|A one-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a one star wanted level, any [[police|police officer]] that spots the player will give chase and attempt to arrest him. The police will attempt to knock the player down with their fists (in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]]) and [[nightstick]]s (in other [[GTA III Era]] games). They also do not shoot unless they are threatened by the player (in GTA San Andreas, if you are holding a gun or a thrown weapon, officers will shoot at you, and also if you run over an officer but not getting killed).

<br />
==Two Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-TwoStar.png|thumb|right|333px|A two star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a two-star wanted level, the police start actively searching for the player. Officers now shoot to kill, including when you're unarmed, and each patrol car is occupied by two officers. Officers in cars now give chase rather than simply follow behind and often try to overtake or spin the player out. On water, [[Predator|armed police boats]] give chase.<br />

:* Killing many people in a short period of time<br />
:* Displaying a firearm inside a police station in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]] (a melee weapon will not warrant a wanted level)<br />
:* Destroying any aircraft in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|San Andreas]]<br />
:* Trespassing in the Washington Beach Police Station ([[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]) (unless wearing the cop uniform)<br />
:* Run over a police officer with a vehicle in fast speed([[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]])<br />

<br />
==Three Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-ThreeStar.png|thumb|right|300px|A three-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a three-star wanted level, pursuing police vehicles become more aggressive, driving at maximum speed, and the police will also begin to set up armed roadblocks on main roads. A [[Police Maverick|police helicopter]] is also called in to assist and its crew follows the player, putting a spotlight on the protagonist (at night), and shoots at the player via an invisible machine gun on the fuselage if they get a clear shot and yell various humourous remarks over a loudspeaker. Police officers begin to deploy spike strips to puncture the player's tires, making driving difficult. In GTA San Andreas, from this wanted level on, officers who come out of either a [[Police Car]] or [[Ranger]] will also ocassionally wield [[Pump Action Shotgun|shotguns]]. Additionally, in [[Grand Theft Auto Vice City|Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], undercover 'Vice Squad' detectives armed with Uzis and driving [[VCPD Cheetah|Cheetahs]] also give chase.<br />
<br />
Three wanted stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement (evading capture or death by any means)<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage (killing civilians and destroying vehicles)<br />
:* Entering police impound garages in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]]<br />
:* Blowing up an AI controlled full-winged [[Dodo]] (the ''[[DeadDodo]]'') in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]<br />
:* [[Trucking]] hot goods in San Andreas<br />
<br />
==Four Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-Four star.png|thumb|right|300px|A four-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a four-star wanted level, the police will drive more aggressively and [[SWAT]] teams join the chase. SWAT members wear body armor and are armed with Uzi sub-machine guns. Roadblocks now consist of the heavier and larger [[Enforcer|SWAT vans]], making them more difficult to ram through. The pursuing police helicopter fires at the player more frequently and, from [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] onwards, [[:wp:Rappelling|rappels]] SWAT members down to the player's location. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], the police helicopter is often joined by a [[News Chopper]], and [[Hydra|military jets]] now pursue and attempt to shoot down the player if he is flying an aircraft.<br />
<br />
Four wanted stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage<br />
:* Entering a city or region not yet unlocked in the storyline in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]]<br />
:* Blowing up the police helicopter which appears at a three star wanted level (not to be confused with the player-operable [[Police Maverick]])<br />
:* Entering the [[Restricted Areas|restricted area]] of [[El Banco Corrupto Grande]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]]<br />
:* Breaking out [[Cam Jones]] in the mission [[No Escape?]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
<br />
==Five Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAVC-Five star.png|thumb|right|300px|A five-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].]]<br />
At a five-star wanted level, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] takes over the chase and completely replaces local police on the ground (local police will still chase the player if they see him) and the streets begin to clear of civilians (In GTA Liberty City Stories, however, there are still lots of pedestrians in the streets). Four-FBI teams of heavily armed and armored FBI agents drive armored cars and SUVs and make for formidable opponents. The FBI agents are armed with [[AK-47|AK-47s]] and 9mm handguns in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]] and [[MP5|MP5s]] in later games. Their driving is even more aggressive and they usually opt to ram the player's vehicle head on at high speed and then batter it to pieces before he/she can recover. In [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], the pursuing police helicopter is joined by a second, and both stick to the player doggedly and fire at the protagonist whenever they get the chance. The roadblocks now consist of FBI vehicles, which are easier to ram through, but the FBI agents' MP5s tear through most [[vehicles]] fairly quickly. The waters are saturated with [[Predator|Predators]] at this wanted-level. Trespassing inside a military base will release a five star wanted level and cops swarm in and attempt to kill the player. The FBI are particularly perilous to engage, as their SMGs are likely to make short work of the player's getaway vehicle. Due the increased risk of being shot to death, use of a motorcycle as a getaway vehicle is especially not recommended. All officers employ more advanced driving techniques, such as the PIT maneuver, as they try to make the player spin out of control and crash.<br />
<br />
<br />
Five stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage<br />
:* Entering or flying over a restricted area,such as over the [[Easter Basin Naval Station]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]<br />
:* Entering or flying over (at low-altitude) the [[Area 69]] research base in GTA San Andreas. Doing this will results not only in the wanted level, but also attack from SAM Sites and enemy [[Hydra|Hydras]].<br />
:* Blowing up the Tarbrush Cafe in the mission [[Cop Land]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Six Stars==<br />
[[File:HUD-GTAIII-Sixstar.png|thumb|right|300px|A six-star wanted level in [[Grand Theft Auto III]].]]<br />
At six stars, the National Guard will take over from the FBI and will give chase in [[Barracks OL]] trucks and [[Rhino]] tanks, making travel in ordinary vehicles extremely hazardous. Civilians have almost completely disappeared from the streets at this point (In GTA Liberty City Stories, however, there are still lots of pedestrians in the streets), and the soldiers drive with total disregard for anything but ramming the player into oblivion. Roadblocks now consist of Barracks OL trucks. At six stars, police helicopters rule the skies, the sea is thick with police boats and in addition to the army, police officers are everywhere - appearing from all directions in large numbers. If the player cannot get to a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] with a suitable vehicle, stealing a [[Rhino|tank]] or taking to the skies in a helicopter and trying to pick up police bribes around the city are often the only practical options for reducing a six-star wanted level. The Army soldiers carry [[M16|M16s]], [[MP5|MP5s]] or [[M16|M4s]] depending on the game. Unlike in the story mode where enemies often miss, the soldiers are pinpoint crackshots, and a gunfight is considered suicide as the army will take the player down very fast. Survival and escape is most difficult, and a very fast and/or durable vehicle is recommended. All law enforcement vehicles fire upon and ram the player relentlessly with very little regard for collateral damage. On foot, the player must move and/or retaliate quickly to avoid being cut down by gunfire; however, fleeing is the better option when pitted against several officers. <br />
<br />
Six stars are attained by:<br />
<br />
:* Continuing to retaliate against law enforcement<br />
:* Continuing to cause collateral damage<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
===Reducing a wanted level===<br />
* Go to any nearest [[safehouse]], [[asset]] or save point and save the game. Then, load it again. (GTA Vice City onwards)<br />
* Collect [[Police Bribe|police bribes]] around the city.<br />
* At a one star wanted level, go to an alleyway or remote place that people don't usually hang out and wait; within a couple of minutes the star will go away on its own. (However, this becomes more difficult in the later stages of GTA: San Andreas when there is a greater police presence in Los Santos; sometimes the only way to get rid of a one-star wanted level in this part of the game while in that city is to use a safehouse, Pay 'n' Spray or head for the country.)<br />
* Enter a safehouse and change outfits. (GTA Vice City onwards) Note, however, that this does not always work in San Andreas on a 2-star wanted level or higher.<br />
* Go to a clothing shop and change clothes. (GTA San Andreas)<br />
* [[Pay n Spray|Respray]] a [[vehicles|car]] in any [[Pay 'n' Spray]] garage. (certain vehicles, however, like Military, police, SWAT, FBI and emergency vehicles cannot be resprayed). Also, committing crimes while the stars are flashing will reinstate the wanted level.<br />
* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], [[Mod Garages|mod]] a vehicle at [[TransFender]], [[Loco Low Co.]] and [[Wheel Arch Angels]]; one modification (such as one respray) will suspend the wanted level. Any other modifications done while the stars are flashing will make them disappear.<br />
* In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], start the [[Freight Train Challenge|freight train challenge]] and the wanted level will instantly clear.<br />
* In GTA San Andreas, if the player enters a region that has not yet been unlocked, receiving the 4-star level, and then re-enters the unlocked region, the wanted level drops to 3 stars and can be reduced further using bribes, saving, etc. However the wanted rating cannot be reduced while the player remains in the locked region: picking up a bribe will briefly drop the rating to 3 stars, and taking a vehicle to a pay n' spray will reduce the level, but then the game re-registers the player's trespass and reinstates the 4-star rating; safehouses are not available until a region is officially unlocked.<br />
<br />
===Getaway vehicles===<br />
*On a 2 to 4 star wanted level, a sports (also a muscle or a tuner) car is a better vehicle to be used as its speed easily outruns most police vehicles.<br />
*On a 5 star wanted level, where [[FBI Rancher]]s tend to knock the player off road, heavy vehicles are recommended since their size makes them difficult to be pushed around.<br />
*On a 6 star wanted level, a [[Rhino]], if the player manages to attain one, is the best means of escape since any vehicles that runs into it will simply explode (except motorbikes in GTA San Andreas, but the player can be knocked off of one easily). Even Rhinos themselves are not all that durable against other Rhinos, as this vehicle can only be damaged by hitting another Rhino, or fire (making Molotov Cocktails an unlikely, but practical choice of weapon if one has good cover).<br />
*A slow vehicle is NOT be recommended for a 3 to 6 wanted star level.<br />
*If the player is skilled at driving a motorcycle, using a [[PCJ-600]] or, in GTA San Andreas, the [[NRG-500]], can often be the best choice as the fast bikes allow overland travel and jumping and speed that can facilitate escapes to save points or other safety areas.<br />
*It is best to avoid using the [[Angel]] or the [[Freeway]] to escape a four star wanted level or higher, as they have wide turning radii and they don't brake well, meaning that the player will have to use their brakes frequently, allowing law enforcement officers to catch up to them. <br />
*It is also best to avoid using the [[Pizza Boy]], [[NoodleBoy]] or the [[Faggio]] to escape a four star or higher wanted level. Although these scooters have excellent handling and braking, they have a low top speed and horrible acceleration, meaning it is near impossible to outrun the law enforcement vehicles. It also makes it easier for law enforcement to bust the player.<br />
*When attempting to avoid the police by driving through alleyways or by off roading, the [[Sanchez]] is a good option to take, as it is an excellent off roader, is small and nimble, and has excellent acceleration and handling, with a moderate top speed.<br />
<br />
===Others===<br />
*Before unlocking [[Vice City Mainland]] in GTA Vice City or [[Staunton Island]] in GTA III, the player can only attain 4 star wanted level at maximum.<br />
*At high wanted levels, prioritize escaping from or killing [[Military|soldiers]] (six stars), [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents (five stars) , [[SWAT]] soldiers (four star onwards) and [[Vice Squad]] Agents (three star wanted level, GTA VC and GTA VCS only) over killing regular police officers, as they can kill a player with with their weapons in a short amount of time. <br />
*At higher levels, the best way to clear the wanted level is to shoot down the police helicopters, and sneak into a Pay 'n' Spray before they respawn. Another good strategy is to enter the subway system (GTA III and GTA LCS only) with a vehicle (preferably a motorbike) and follow the underground routes until they reach a Pay 'n' Spray (or lose the wanted level, if the player has a one star), but the player must be careful not to get lost in the system or getting hit by the oncoming Subway Trains. <br />
*Stunt jumping gives the player considerable distance from the police but may not guarantee total escape, as certain factors, such as the wanted level, environment of the stunt jump, &quot;projectile&quot; motion concept of physics, and the position of other police units, come into play. <br />
*The player can listen to the police radio while being chased; it will indicate which vehicles the police are sending after the protagonist. The &quot;dispatched from [location]&quot; gives the general spawning point for police vehicles. Some are: &quot;Dispatch X (number of police units, usually 2-6) units from __&quot;, &quot;Dispatch Air Unit from __&quot;, &quot;Dispatch FBI team from __&quot; and &quot;Dispatch SWAT team from __&quot;. <br />
*Run through alleys and narrow streets to give the cops the slip. <br />
*To save money, only use the Pay 'n' Spray if you have a wanted level of at least 4 stars, as it is easy to escape 1 and 2 star wanted levels (and occasionally 3 stars, depending on the location of the Police Maverick). <br />
*Hijack a law enforcement vehicle whenever a wanted level of at least 3 stars is obtained. That way, you can hear where the Police, FBI and SWAT will send reinforcements and where they are waiting to ambush you.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*In [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], it is possible for the player to get arrested without having any wanted level stars. If the player punches the air in front of a police officer (without actually hitting the police officer), he will think the player hit him. While no wanted level stars appear, the police officer will kick the player to the ground and arrest the player.<br />
*Sometimes, if the player types in the &quot;remove wanted level&quot; cheat, even though the player no longer has a wanted level, sometimes the police will continue to attack the player as if he had one.<br />
*If the player enters a building, exiting it will cause all cops chasing you to appear in front of a building.<br />
*There are instances in GTA San Andreas that if you do not stop running while your 2-star Wanted Level changes into a 3-star, a police chopper can appear on the ground as if its rotors are the only thing revealed. <br />
*In GTA San Andreas, if you have a 4-star wanted level or higher and use the &quot;turndowntheheat&quot; cheat and get another wanted level under 3 stars, any SWAT, Army or FBI in the area will not go after you or shoot you unless you attack them.<br />
*In GTA San Andreas, at a 3-star or higher wanted level, officers who come out of a [[Police Car]] or [[Ranger]] will occasionally wield shotguns. Even if an officer does wield a shotgun, entering the car the officer came out of will still add 5 shells to the players' shotgun ammo and will still result in the player obtaining a [[Pump Action Shotgun]] provided he already doesn't have a shotgun.<br />

'''Easter Bay Airport''' is an airport in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] based in [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]].<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Based on real-life [[:wp:San Francisco International Airport|San Francisco International Airport]], the airport is the largest airport in the state by area. It is situated at the southeastern corner of the city, just east of [[Foster Valley]] and a major freeway, and just south of [[Easter Basin]]. From here, the player can purchase [[Juank Air]] flights to and from [[Los Santos International Airport]] and [[Las Venturas Airport]], but no flights actually take off or land without the player instigating it. As befits a busy airport, there are numerous aircraft parked in various locations, and [[Baggage]] carts trundling about.<br />
<br />
There are three main points of ground vehicle entry to the airport - the first is through the underground parking lot which terminates behind the control tower where the helicopters are; the others are through two direct freight ramps in the center of the airport, one leading to the runway, the other to the hangars. One note: the gates governing these points of entry are only accessible once the player has passed [[Flying School]] and is considered a pilot. Through ingenuity, the player can access the tarmac, but all aircraft are locked until pilot status is achieved, with the exception of the [[Maverick]] in the area near the hangars.<br />
<br />
This airport, as aforementioned, is modeled after San Francisco International Airport, which is located several miles south of the city. The main landing strip of Easter Bay Airport (pictured) extends out into [[Easter Bay]], a distinguishing feature of San Francisco International Airport, whose main tarmac extends into San Francisco Bay. The airport is situated on an artificial island connected to the mainland by a small land bridge that provides the only road access.<br />
<br />
==Events in GTA San Andreas==<br />
The airport plays a role in two missions. In the mission [[Mike Toreno (mission)|Mike Toreno]], Carl and [[T-Bone Mendez]] track [[Mike Toreno]] in a [[Burrito|yay van]] in the airport. Carl destroys it, and heads back to the [[Jizzy's Pleasure Domes|pleasure domes]] in [[Battery Point]]. In the mission [[Ran Fa Li (mission)|Ran Fa Li]], Carl picks up a package from a [[Manana]] inside the parking lot of the airport, and has to take it back to a garage in [[Esplanade North]], all while constantly being confronted by the [[Da Nang Boys]], fierce rivals of the [[San Fierro Triads]].<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* In the beta version the landing area was smaller.<br />
* Oddly, in the booklet guide, it is not named Easter Bay Airport, but San Fierro Airport instead. However, in real life it is not unusual for airports to be known by different names.<br />
* One unique stunt jump starting in [[Red County]] requires CJ to jump across and onto the airport property. Completing this jump before San Fierro is unlocked triggers a wanted level.<br />
<br />
==Weapons==<br />
*[[Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher]]: Between the large cylindrical storage tanks just south of the northeastern-most hangars<br />
<br />
==Stationary vehicles==<br />
*[[Maverick]]: To the immediate northeast of the southern-most hangars<br />
*[[Leviathan]]: To the immediate north of the eastern-most hangars; to the southeast of the control tower<br />
*[[Raindance]]: Adjacent to the Leviathan - immediately southeast of the control tower<br />
*[[Dodo]] (2): One in each of the pair of hangars on the south side of the airport, closest to the terminal<br />
*[[Rustler]]: Inside the eastern-most of the pair of hangars on the south side of the airport, closest to the terminal<br />
*[[Nevada]] (2): One is directly east of the south end of the terminal; north of the Maverick, the other is located to the west of the Leviathan. The former is sometimes colored blue.<br />
*[[Shamal]] (3): Two immediately adjacent to the south end of the terminal. One outside the southern-most of the pair of hangars at the northeast end of the airport<br />
*[[Beagle]]: Northwest end of the airport, at the end of the main landing strip<br />
*[[Super GT]]: Parked next to the control tower at the north end of the airport. (ocassionaly locked)<br />
*[[Blista Compact]] (only when wanted for export): Parked next to the small building at the extreme southwestern corner of the airport<br />
*[[NRG-500]]: Between the two eastern-most hangars among the group of buildings at the very south end of the airport<br />
*[[Utility Van]] (3): All three parked on the east side of the terminal<br />
*[[Baggage]] (3): Two parked on the east side of the terminal. One parked near the Maverick and NRG-500 at the southeastern corner of the airport<br />
*[[Coastguard]] (10): One moored at each of the wooden slips situated around the exterior of the airport<br />
<br />
==Miscellaneous items==<br />
*[[Body Armor]]<br />
*[[Camera]]: In the grass at the southwestern corner of the street intersection closest to the airport<br />
*Three [[snapshots]]<br />
**For the first one, photograph the decoration billboard at the entryway. (pictured)<br />
**Another one is to photograph the antenna on top of the control tower towards the runway<br />

'''Las Venturas''', [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] is the third and final fictional city the player visits in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. It is based on [[:wp:Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas, Nevada]], and like its real-life counterpart, Las Venturas is a gambling city located in a desert region, with casinos such as [[The Camel's Toe]] and [[Caligula's Palace]]. Everything that can be bought in Las Venturas, however the [[Pay 'n' Spray]] service, is 20% more expensive than in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] or [[San Fierro]]. Las Venturas translates to 'The Fortunes' or 'The Adventures', whilst Las Vegas translates to &quot;The Meadows&quot; or &quot;The Grasslands&quot;.<br />
<br />
Las Venturas is home to the famous baseball team, the [[Las Venturas Bandits]], and [[Greenglass College]]. The city is also home to Mafia families. Initially, there were three families: the [[Leone Family]], the [[Forelli Family]] and the [[Sindacco Family]].<br />
<br />
The city and most of its features can be accessed once the mission [[Yay Ka-Boom-Boom]] is completed, however the ability to purchase safehouses in the city isn't granted until [[Learning to Fly]] is completed.<br />
<br />
== Storyline ==<br />
[[File:LasVenturas-GTASA-Welcomesign.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Welcome To Fabulous Las Venturas [[Las Venturas Welcome Sign|sign]]]]<br />
After completing dangerous missions in the deserts of San Andreas for [[Mike Toreno]] in exchange for his brother [[Sean Johnson|Sweet's]] freedom, [[Carl Johnson]] discovers that Toreno has vanished, not fulfilling his end of the bargain. However, after helping [[The Truth]] steal secret items from the government, Carl gets a phone call from the blind [[San Fierro Triads|Triad]] leader [[Wu Zi Mu]], whom Carl worked with in San Fierro. Wu Zi Mu has opened a casino called &quot;[[The Four Dragons Casino]]&quot; in Las Venturas, and he offers Carl part ownership in exchange for defending it, since Las Venturas is a Mafia-controlled town.<br />
<br />
After stopping the sabotage efforts of the Forelli Family and Sindacco Family, who have part ownership of [[Caligula's Palace]], with the Leone Family, Carl and Wu Zi Mu plan to strike back by pulling off a heist on Caligula's. Carl eventually [[Don Peyote|meets]] [[Kent Paul]] and [[Maccer]], a member of the [[Gurning Chimps]]. Paul knows [[Ken Rosenberg]], who is currently the manager of Caligula's.<br />
<br />
After helping Rosenberg out with his problems, [[Salvatore Leone]] himself arrives from [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] to take total control of Caligula's. Carl capitalizes on his relationship with Rosenberg to earn Salvatore's trust, and after performing numerous hits for him, is ready to begin the heist. When the heist team successfully [[Breaking the Bank at Caligula's|robs Caligula's]], Salvatore swears revenge against Carl.<br />
<br />
In a different tempo, Carl also does a task once again for [[Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums|C.R.A.S.H.]], which is to [[Misappropriation|retrieve a dossier]] for [[Frank Tenpenny]]. After some time, C.R.A.S.H. and Carl meet up in [[Las Brujas]], near [[El Castillo del Diablo]] in [[Bone County]], to give Tenpenny the dossier. In this event, Tenpenny knocks out fellow C.R.A.S.H. member [[Jimmy Hernandez]] with a [[shovel]], since he was going to turn in evidence against Tenpenny. Later on, [[Eddie Pulaski]] also gets killed, but this time by Carl.<br />
<br />
Soon after this, CJ saves the life of disgraced rapper [[Madd Dogg]] from committing suicide. and becomes his new manager. However, Madd Dogg wants to return to Los Santos to reclaim his [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]] from a drug dealer named [[Big Poppa]]. The story then leaves Las Venturas.<br />
<br />
== Casinos ==<br />
Wu Zi Mu (in person) and Julio G (on the radio), among others, talk about how corporations are moving in on the Las Venturas gaming industry and pushing out mobsters. This refers to the real-life trend in Las Vegas, also in the very early 1990s (&quot;corporations&quot; being Steve Wynn and Circus Circus Enterprises).<br />
<br />
Most Las Venturas casinos are modeled after real-life locations in Las Vegas. Curiously, counterparts to some noteworthy Las Vegas casinos which existed in 1992 (when the game takes place), but were later demolished, do not appear in Las Venturas - these include the Dunes Hotel, the Sands Hotel and the Stardust.(The casinos that replaced them don't appear either.) Also, the Luxor Hotel ([[The Camel's Toe]]) and Treasure Island Hotel and Casino ([[Pirates in Men's Pants]]) had yet to be built. <br />
<br />
Three casinos, namely [[The Four Dragons Casino]], [[Caligula's Palace]], and [[Casino Floor]], can be entered by [[Carl Johnson]]. Inside you will find dealers and casino games along with many pedestrians. These pedestrians will be found ordering drinks, playing the table games (except Wheel of Fortune), standing in front of the slot machines, and making comments regarding the drinks they are ordering, about the table games they play, and about [[Carl Johnson]]'s appearance. Carl can also gamble at an assortment of table games, slot machines and video poker machines for stakes of up to $1,000,000.<br />
<br />
Casinos along [[The Strip]] include (real-life counterparts in Las Vegas):<br />
<br />

=== Old Venturas Strip ===<br />
The casinos in the Old Venturas Strip district have no names, but are modeled after the largest casinos in downtown Las Vegas: Binion's Horseshoe, Golden Nugget Las Vegas, Fremont Hotel and Casino, and The Four Queens Hotel and Casino.<br />
<br />
== Transport ==<br />
[[File:JuliusThruwayWest-GTASA.jpg|thumb|right|200px|West side of Julius Thruway.]]<br />
<br />
=== Road ===<br />
Las Venturas has a large freeway system circling and splitting the city into two. The [[Julius Thruway]] is the freeway system circling the city, and is split into four parts; Julius Thruway North, Julius Thruway South, Julius Thruway East and Julius Thruway West. Julius Thruway North leads to an intersection, before splitting into many paths crossing the desert. Julius Thruway South continues to the west from the [[Blackfield Intersection]] to become a major highway in the south of [[Bone County]], continuing to the [[Garver Bridge]], and to [[Tierra Robada]] and the [[Gant Bridge]]. Thus Las Venturas has easy access to [[San Fierro]] and [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]]. It services numerous areas in the city. The [[Harry Gold Parkway]] is another highway, splitting the whole city into a western half and an eastern half. It services mainly the [[Las Venturas Airport|airport]], some few casinos and the central areas. It also leads to a highway leading to the south, crossing [[The Mako Span]] to reach the [[Montgomery Intersection]] and becomes the major freeway through Downtown Los Santos, and its most southern point is [[Los Santos International Airport]].<br />
<br />
[[File:LasVenturasAirport-GTASA-entrance.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Entrance of Las Venturas Airport.]]<br />
=== Rail ===<br />
The [[Brown Streak Railroad]] services Las Venturas, with its two stations ([[Linden Station]] and [[Yellow Bell Station]]) being located in the northern and eastern part of the city. The [[Sobell Rail Yards]] are also in the east of the city, though it is not considered a stop for [[Brown Streak]] and [[Freight]] trains.<br />
<br />
=== Air ===<br />
[[Las Venturas Airport]] is an airport on the south-central part of the city, with two runways and a number of planes. It is serviced by [[Juank Air]], and tickets to Los Santos and San Fierro may be purchased.<br />
<br />

== Sports Teams ==<br />
Las Venturas is home to the [[Las Venturas Bandits]], who aren't based on any real life baseball team, as real world Las Vegas has never held a major league sports team, in any American pro sport. There is a minor league baseball team, the [[wp:Las Vegas 51s|Las Vegas 51s]], but it is likely that the Bandits are not meant to emulate the 51s. The Bandits play at the [[Las Venturas Bandits Stadium]] in the [[Redsands West]] district of Las Venturas.<br />

<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
*Behind [[The Clown's Pocket]] Casino, a large pink dome is under construction. The pink Adventuredome behind the Circus Circus Casino in Las Vegas was also under construction in 1992.<br />
*In GTA San Andreas, the printed map included with the game implies that The Clown's Pocket Casino was originally named the Ringmaster, which probably means the name was changed during game development.<br />
*Las Venturas is the only city with no Street Gangs roaming the city, though it has been implied that most of the city belongs to the Mafia.<br />
*The&amp;nbsp;[[Venturas Poker Challenge]] takes place in Las Venturas in the Venturas Dome, during the events of Grand Theft Auto IV.<br />
*In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], there are a lot of references to Las Venturas (in television, radio, etc.), as it still exists within the [[GTA IV Era]]. However, as Las Venturas is a city and not a town or area, it is unknown if it still exists within the fictional state of [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]], afterall San Andreas is a single city in GTA 1.<br />
*In early screenshots Police Vehicles in Las Venturas were shown to have the letters &quot;LG&quot; emblozned on them, as apposed to the letters &quot;LV&quot; for Las Venturas. This suggests the at one point Las Venturas was named something else.<br />
*Accessing Las Venturas before the region is unlocked triggers a wanted level, as usual. There is an exception, however: on the extreme southern side of the city are two small docks, both with boats. These may be accessed from the start of the game without penalty; one of the docks also has an armor pick-up that can also be reached safely. As long as CJ does not attempt to go up the staircases, a wanted level will not be triggered. This loophole (possibly caused by a glitch in the boundary programming) allows CJ to access a boat early on in the game.<br />
*At one point on the map, it is possible for a skilled motorcycle driver to jump from [[Red County]] across into Las Venturas before the bridges are unlocked. This, of course, triggers the wanted level. There are videos on YouTube showing how this can be done.<br />

<br />
'''Departure Time''' is the final [[Missions in The Ballad of Gay Tony|storyline mission]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. It takes place after the final mission of GTA IV.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
[[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] and [[Gay Tony|Tony]] set off to Funland in Hove Beach to take out [[Ray Bulgarin]] and save the Tony Prince Empire. Once arriving in Funland, [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] tells Tony to hide in [[Meadows Park]] and if he doesn't come back for Tony, he didn't make it.<br />
<br />
==Walkthrough==<br />
Luis must clear his path and destroy 3 theme park bins filled with heroin situated in the West areas of Funland. Shoot your way through Ray's guards, sticking to cover, as the theme park is a maze with dozens of ways to be flanked and surrounded. (You can also climb up on some of the surrounding walls and shoot down into the park). Rifles and explosives are a good way to clear a path. Taking out the nearby vans often destroys the bins and is fairly simple, especially if you have the [[Automatic Shotgun|Explosive Shotgun]], which can wreck the vans in a few shots from a considerable distance.<br />
<br />
After taking out all three, Luis discovers that Ray isn't there. Take a moment to recuperate health if you need to, from the First Aid Kit near the last van, or with the food vendors on the boardwalk, who can be accessed during the mission, and pick up the body armor. Shoot your way through the east side of Funland, taking down more guards and destroying one last bin at the far end of the area. In a minor cutscene, [[Timur]] arrives with backup and tells Luis that he's too late - Bulgarin is about to escape back to Europe in a private jet. Quickly, equip a weapon and kill Timur before he has a chance to get away, then take control of a [[Bati Custom]] found nearby.<br />
<br />
Luis is now ordered to drive to Dukes Expressway, and along the way [[Yusuf Amir]] calls him and asks if he needs any assistance, and consequently Luis will decline the offer. However, upon reaching the Expressway, Yusuf will appear in his gold [[Buzzard]]. The player now must follow him - he will destroy any Russians along the way with homing missiles.<br />
<br />
After finally reaching the airport you'll see Bulgarin's blue [[Ghawar]] preparing to take off. During this time you must catch up to it before it departs. Make sure to lean forward on the bike during straight to get a little extra speed boost. Luis will then shoot a hostile seen inside and will jump onto the jet. With only three more goons left in the plane, this final section is surprisingly simple, just shoot them. Bulgarin will then appear - with a grenade in his hand which he is prepared to use. A cinematic [[Executions|execution]] will take place, with Ray falling to the ground with the grenade with the safety pin removed. The jet then explodes upon detonation - blasted in half. Miraculously still alive, Luis finds a parachute and dives out of the jet as it nosedives into the sea. The player must then safely parachute down and get to Dukes Globe where Tony will be (it is possible to ride the parachute all the way to the globe, but this is not mandatory; you can also simply land safely on land and obtain a vehicle. Note that this is one of the few moments in Grand Theft Auto where there is omnipotent music, or music not generated by a radio.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving, a cutscene will be played that shows a [[Jerry Kapowitz|homeless man]] walking the street, looking for food. Luis bumps into him, spilling the trash. Luis will help him up and walk away, and during this the man's finds the pouch of diamonds - Bulgarin's diamonds. He then walks away laughing with joy.<br />
<br />
Tony will meet Luis and make amends, Tony reflecting on how he squandered his ambition to see the world by going to Algonquin, where '...the world came to me.' Luis still remains a little cynical, amused that two such different people have become so close. A little while later, Yusuf gatecrashes their reunion, still set on franchising Tony's clubs around the world. When Tony points out that his clubs are more about the people than the style, Yusuf dismisses him, stating '...piss on them!'<br />

==Rewards==<br />
*Completing this mission also unlocks [[Buzzard|Yusuf's Buzzard]], much like his car, to be collected from the Helipad on the West River in Algonquin - and as a result replaces the [[Swift]] (a parachute also now spawns nearby). Also the player can now call [[Henrique Bardas|Henrique]] for an [[APC]], call [[Armando Torres|Armando]] for a [[Gold SMG]] and finally the ability to replay all the storyline missions is now available from the phone.<br />
*The [[Completion|100% completion]] &quot;reward&quot; (the ability to purchase unlimited ammo) is also unlocked if all conditions are met before completing the mission. Needless to say, if one is playing for 100% completion, these tasks should be finished before triggering Departure Time (note: a 100% score on each mission is ''not'' required). It should be noted that, with no further missions to shore up Luis' bank account, the amount of money available to Luis going forward to buy ammo, food, etc is limited (unless one spends excessively, Luis should end the game with at least $500,000).<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The song featured in the parachute scene after Ray's death and Luis' clever remark was No Security by Kelis ft. The Crookers, this song can also be heard on [[Electro-Choc]].<br />
*Ray's clothes might be different depending if you play this mission a lot.<br />
*It is possible to kill the guy shooting at you on the runway, and his body will fly off the plane, but the cutscene of Luis shooting him still plays normally.<br />
*Strangely, Luis asks Tony to hide from Bulgarin not far from Bulgarin's house.<br />
*The Bati Custom used in this mission is scripted to never outrun Yusuf's Buzzard, meaning it will never get caught in Yusuf's rocket blasts, possibly to make this mission easier. It is also the only mission to obtain it.<br />
*Oddly, Luis didn't wear a parachute before entering the plane, And there wouldn't have been any time to take one inside the plane as by having an explosion inside the plane, there would have been no chances of Luis to survive. As everyone inside would have been sucked out.<br />
*The four-star wanted level attained upon entering the airport is scripted so that no police officers spawn in the airport. This is likely to not make the mission more difficult as normally the police officers doing drive-bys while the player is on a bike would make the mission impossibly difficult. In any event, no police pursue Luis on the tarmac.<br />
* This is one of the few missions in the game series where the [[protagonist]] has to invade a plane. The others are [[Stowaway]] and [[Freefall]], both in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].<br />
* In the post-mission, aside from text messages from Armando and Yusif notifying Luis of the new equipment available, Luis will also get a phone call from [[Mori Kibbutz]] and learns he's turned a new leaf and joined, appropriately enough, a kibbutz. Luis may also receive a text from one of his [[Booty Call]] girls, breaking up with him.<br />
* The [[Weazel News]] update says it has been a week since the clubs were closed, meaning, despite when Departure Time is triggered, it's still been a week since the events of [[Party's Over]].<br />

<br />
==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br />
*Basically, you need to go for the 3rd bin, to your left where you start, the 1st bin. Straight ahead where you start, the 2nd bin, in between bins 1 and 3 , and then the 4th bin, to your right where you start. Chase after Timur and kill him.<br />
*The amusement park is full of propane tanks, and enemies just love to stand by them- shoot the tanks to save bullets.<br />
*Many surrounding buildings are climbable- stand on them to quick kills to make the time limit, stocking up on sniper rifle ammo beforehand will assist you further.<br />
*Whilst chasing Bulgarin's jet, push the left stick (XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) or Right Shift (PC Keyboard) forward to increase speed.<br />
*As you're parachuting to the Monoglobe, hold the left stick (XBox 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) back or S Key (PC Keyboard) to save airtime and not have to find a car and follow the rules of the roads.<br />
*After destroying all bins, and Luis and Timur's conversation, quickly get out of cover and use any powerful weapon to kill him around the corner.<br />
*As soon as you board the plane and behind cover, save time by blind-firing, because you will pop out of the cover and it will remain unusable after a few seconds.<br />

Needless to say, if one is playing for 100% completion, these tasks should be finished before triggering Departure Time (note: a 100% score on each mission is ''not'' required).<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The song featured in the parachute scene after Ray's death and Luis' clever remark was No Security by Kelis ft. The Crookers, this song can also be heard on [[Electro-Choc]].<br />
*Ray's clothes might be different depending if you play this mission a lot.<br />
*It is possible to kill the guy shooting at you on the runway, and his body will fly off the plane, but the cutscene of Luis shooting him still plays normally.<br />
*Strangely, Luis asks Tony to hide from Bulgarin not far from Bulgarin's house.<br />
*The Bati Custom used in this mission is scripted to never outrun Yusuf's Buzzard, meaning it will never get caught in Yusuf's rocket blasts, possibly to make this mission easier. It is also the only mission to obtain it.<br />
*Oddly, Luis didn't wear a parachute before entering the plane, And there wouldn't have been any time to take one inside the plane as by having an explosion inside the plane, there would have been no chances of Luis to survive. As everyone inside would have been sucked out.<br />
*The four-star wanted level attained upon entering the airport is scripted so that no police officers spawn in the airport. This is likely to not make the mission more difficult as normally the police officers doing drive-bys while the player is on a bike would make the mission impossibly difficult. In any event, no police pursue Luis on the tarmac.<br />
* This is one of the few missions in the game series where the [[protagonist]] has to invade a plane. The others are [[Stowaway]] and [[Freefall]], both in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].<br />
* In the post-mission, aside from text messages from Armando and Yusif notifying Luis of the new equipment available, Luis will also get a phone call from [[Mori Kibbutz]] and learns he's turned a new leaf and joined, appropriately enough, a kibbutz. Luis may also receive a text from one of his [[Booty Call]] girls, breaking up with him.<br />
* The [[Weazel News]] update says it has been a week since the clubs were closed, meaning, despite when Departure Time is triggered, it's still been a week since the events of [[Party's Over]].<br />

<br />
==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br />
*Basically, you need to go for the 3rd bin, to your left where you start, the 1st bin. Straight ahead where you start, the 2nd bin, in between bins 1 and 3 , and then the 4th bin, to your right where you start. Chase after Timur and kill him.<br />
*The amusement park is full of propane tanks, and enemies just love to stand by them- shoot the tanks to save bullets.<br />
*Many surrounding buildings are climbable- stand on them to quick kills to make the time limit, stocking up on sniper rifle ammo beforehand will assist you further.<br />
*Whilst chasing Bulgarin's jet, push the left stick (XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) or Right Shift (PC Keyboard) forward to increase speed.<br />
*As you're parachuting to the Monoglobe, hold the left stick (XBox 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) back or S Key (PC Keyboard) to save airtime and not have to find a car and follow the rules of the roads.<br />
*After destroying all bins, and Luis and Timur's conversation, quickly get out of cover and use any powerful weapon to kill him around the corner.<br />
*As soon as you board the plane and behind cover, save time by blind-firing, because you will pop out of the cover and it will remain unusable after a few seconds.<br />

<div>'''Booty Call''' is an activity in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] can [[Rhythm-based Minigames|dance]] with girls in [[Maisonette 9]] and if he does well they'll bring Luis to the restrooms for an encounter, after which they may give Luis their number. Afterwards, they can be contacted, or may contact Luis, for a &quot;booty call.&quot; After the arrangement, the girl's home will be represented by a pair of buttocks icon in the radar. Booty calls are optional and appear to have no impact on the game and are not necessary for [[Completion in The Ballad of Gay Tony|100% completion]], however the trophy/achievement [[Warm Coffee]] is rewarded the first time a booty call is undertaken, unless the trophy had previously been awarded in the main GTA IV game.

'''Departure Time''' is the final [[Missions in The Ballad of Gay Tony|storyline mission]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. It takes place after the final mission of GTA IV.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
[[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] and [[Gay Tony|Tony]] set off to Funland in Hove Beach to take out [[Ray Bulgarin]] and save the Tony Prince Empire. Once arriving in Funland, [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] tells Tony to hide in [[Meadows Park]] and if he doesn't come back for Tony, he didn't make it.<br />
<br />
==Walkthrough==<br />
Luis must clear his path and destroy 3 theme park bins filled with heroin situated in the West areas of Funland. Shoot your way through Ray's guards, sticking to cover, as the theme park is a maze with dozens of ways to be flanked and surrounded. (You can also climb up on some of the surrounding walls and shoot down into the park). Rifles and explosives are a good way to clear a path. Taking out the nearby vans often destroys the bins and is fairly simple, especially if you have the [[Automatic Shotgun|Explosive Shotgun]], which can wreck the vans in a few shots from a considerable distance.<br />
<br />
After taking out all three, Luis discovers that Ray isn't there. Take a moment to recuperate health if you need to, from the First Aid Kit near the last van, or with the food vendors on the boardwalk, who can be accessed during the mission, and pick up the body armor. Shoot your way through the east side of Funland, taking down more guards and destroying one last bin at the far end of the area. In a minor cutscene, [[Timur]] arrives with backup and tells Luis that he's too late - Bulgarin is about to escape back to Europe in a private jet. Quickly, equip a weapon and kill Timur before he has a chance to get away, then take control of a [[Bati Custom]] found nearby.<br />
<br />
Luis is now ordered to drive to Dukes Expressway, and along the way [[Yusuf Amir]] calls him and asks if he needs any assistance, and consequently Luis will decline the offer. However, upon reaching the Expressway, Yusuf will appear in his gold [[Buzzard]]. The player now must follow him - he will destroy any Russians along the way with homing missiles.<br />
<br />
After finally reaching the airport you'll see Bulgarin's blue [[Ghawar]] preparing to take off. During this time you must catch up to it before it departs. Make sure to lean forward on the bike during straight to get a little extra speed boost. Luis will then shoot a hostile seen inside and will jump onto the jet. With only three more goons left in the plane, this final section is surprisingly simple, just shoot them. Bulgarin will then appear - with a grenade in his hand which he is prepared to use. A cinematic [[Executions|execution]] will take place, with Ray falling to the ground with the grenade with the safety pin removed. The jet then explodes upon detonation - blasted in half. Miraculously still alive, Luis finds a parachute and dives out of the jet as it nosedives into the sea. The player must then safely parachute down and get to Dukes Globe where Tony will be (it is possible to ride the parachute all the way to the globe, but this is not mandatory; you can also simply land safely on land and obtain a vehicle. Note that this is one of the few moments in Grand Theft Auto where there is omnipotent music, or music not generated by a radio.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving, a cutscene will be played that shows a [[Jerry Kapowitz|homeless man]] walking the street, looking for food. Luis bumps into him, spilling the trash. Luis will help him up and walk away, and during this the man's finds the pouch of diamonds - Bulgarin's diamonds. He then walks away laughing with joy.<br />
<br />
Tony will meet Luis and make amends, Tony reflecting on how he squandered his ambition to see the world by going to Algonquin, where '...the world came to me.' Luis still remains a little cynical, amused that two such different people have become so close. A little while later, Yusuf gatecrashes their reunion, still set on franchising Tony's clubs around the world. When Tony points out that his clubs are more about the people than the style, Yusuf dismisses him, stating '...piss on them!'<br />

With only three more goons left in the plane, this final section is surprisingly simple, just shoot them. Bulgarin will then appear - with a grenade in his hand which he is prepared to use. A cinematic [[Executions|execution]] will take place, with Ray falling to the ground with the grenade with the safety pin removed. The jet then explodes upon detonation - blasted in half. Miraculously still alive, Luis finds a parachute and dives out of the jet as it nosedives into the sea. The player must then safely parachute down and get to Dukes Globe where Tony will be (it is possible to ride the parachute all the way to the globe, but this is not mandatory; you can also simply land safely on land and obtain a vehicle. Note that this is one of the few moments in Grand Theft Auto where there is omnipotent music, or music not generated by a radio.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving, a cutscene will be played that shows a [[Jerry Kapowitz|homeless man]] walking the street, looking for food. Luis bumps into him, spilling the trash. Luis will help him up and walk away, and during this the man's finds the pouch of diamonds - Bulgarin's diamonds. He then walks away laughing with joy.<br />
<br />
Tony will meet Luis and make amends, Tony reflecting on how he squandered his ambition to see the world by going to Algonquin, where '...the world came to me.' Luis still remains a little cynical, amused that two such different people have become so close. A little while later, Yusuf gatecrashes their reunion, still set on franchising Tony's clubs around the world. When Tony points out that his clubs are more about the people than the style, Yusuf dismisses him, stating '...piss on them!'<br />

==Rewards==<br />
*Completing this mission also unlocks [[Buzzard|Yusuf's Buzzard]], much like his car, to be collected from the Helipad on the West River in Algonquin - and as a result replaces the [[Swift]]. Also the player can now call [[Henrique Bardas|Henrique]] for an [[APC]], call [[Armando Torres|Armando]] for a [[Gold SMG]] and finally the ability to replay all the storyline missions is now available from the phone.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*The song featured in the parachute scene after Ray's death and Luis' clever remark was No Security by Kelis ft. The Crookers, this song can also be heard on [[Electro-Choc]].<br />
*Ray's clothes might be different depending if you play this mission a lot.<br />
*It is possible to kill the guy shooting at you on the runway, and his body will fly off the plane, but the cutscene of Luis shooting him still plays normally.<br />
*Strangely, Luis asks Tony to hide from Bulgarin not far from Bulgarins house.<br />
*The Bati Custom used in this mission is scripted to never outrun Yusuf's Buzzard, meaning it will never get caught in Yusuf's rocket blasts, possibly to make this mission easier. It is also the only mission to obtain it.<br />
*The massess of traffic seen at the street while parachuting is a cinematic effect, and is not real cars. Also, there isn't any pedestrians on the street.<br />
*Oddly, Luis didn't wear a parachute before entering the plane, And there wouldn't have been any time to take one inside the plane as by having an explosion inside the plane, there would have been no chances of Luis to survive. As everyone inside would have been sucked out.<br />
*The four-star wanted level attained upon entering the airport is scripted so that no police officers spawn in the airport. This is likely to not make the mission more difficult as normally the police officers doing drive-bys while the player is on a bike would make the mission impossibly difficult.<br />
* This is one of the few missions in the game series where the [[protagonist]] has to invade a plane. The others are [[Stowaway]] and [[Freefall]], both in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]<br />

<br />
==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br />
*Basically, you need to go for the 3rd bin, to your left where you start, the 1st bin. Straight ahead where you start, the 2nd bin, in between bins 1 and 3 , and then the 4th bin, to your right where you start. Chase after Timur and kill him.<br />
*The amusement park is full of propane tanks, and enemies just love to stand by them- shoot the tanks to save bullets.<br />
*Many surrounding buildings are climbable- stand on them to quick kills to make the time limit, stocking up on sniper rifle ammo beforehand will assist you further.<br />
*Whilst chasing Bulgarin's jet, push the left stick (XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) or Right Shift (PC Keyboard) forward to increase speed.<br />
*As you're parachuting to the Monoglobe, hold the left stick (XBox 360/PLAYSTATION 3 controller) back or S Key (PC Keyboard) to save airtime and not have to find a car and follow the rules of the roads.<br />
*After destroying all bins, and Luis and Timur's conversation, quickly get out of cover and use any powerful weapon to kill him around the corner.<br />
*As soon as you board the plane and behind cover, save time by blind-firing, because you will pop out of the cover and it will remain unusable after a few seconds.<br />

'''Departure Time''' is the final [[Missions in The Ballad of Gay Tony|storyline mission]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. It takes place after the final mission of GTA IV.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
[[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] and [[Gay Tony|Tony]] set off to Funland in Hove Beach to take out [[Ray Bulgarin]] and save the Tony Prince Empire. Once arriving in Funland, [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] tells Tony to hide in [[Meadows Park]] and if he doesn't come back for Tony, he didn't make it.<br />
<br />
==Walkthrough==<br />
Luis must clear his path and destroy 3 theme park bins filled with heroin situated in the West areas of Funland. Shoot your way through Ray's guards, sticking to cover, as the theme park is a maze with dozens of ways to be flanked and surrounded. (You can also climb up on some of the surrounding walls and shoot down into the park). Rifles and explosives are a good way to clear a path. Taking out the nearby vans often destroys the bins and is fairly simple, especially if you have the [[Automatic Shotgun|Explosive Shotgun]], which can wreck the vans in a few shots from a considerable distance.<br />
<br />
After taking out all three, Luis discovers that Ray isn't there. Take a moment to recuperate health if you need to, from the First Aid Kit near the last van, or with the food vendors on the boardwalk, who can be accessed during the mission, and pick up the body armor. Shoot your way through the east side of Funland, taking down more guards and destroying one last bin at the far end of the area. In a minor cutscene, [[Timur]] arrives with backup and tells Luis that he's too late - Bulgarin is about to escape back to Europe in a private jet. Quickly, equip a weapon and kill Timur before he has a chance to get away, then take control of a [[Bati Custom]] found nearby.<br />
<br />
Luis is now ordered to drive to Dukes Expressway, and along the way [[Yusuf Amir]] calls him and asks if he needs any assistance, and consequently Luis will decline the offer. However, upon reaching the Expressway, Yusuf will appear in his gold [[Buzzard]]. The player now must follow him - he will destroy any Russians along the way with homing missiles.<br />
<br />
After finally reaching the airport you'll see Bulgarin's blue [[Ghawar]] preparing to take off. During this time you must catch up to it before it departs. Make sure to lean forward on the bike during straight to get a little extra speed boost. Luis will then shoot a hostile seen inside and will jump onto the jet. With only three more goons left in the plane, this final section is surprisingly simple, just shoot them. Bulgarin will then appear - with a grenade in his hand which he is prepared to use. A cinematic [[Executions|execution]] will take place, with Ray falling to the ground with the grenade with the safety pin removed. The jet then explodes upon detonation - blasted in half. Miraculously still alive, Luis finds a parachute and dives out of the jet as it nosedives into the sea. The player must then safely parachute down and get to Dukes Globe where Tony will be. Note that this is one of the few moments in Grand Theft Auto where there is omnipotent music, or music not generated by a radio.<br />
<br />
Upon arriving, a cutscene will be played that shows a [[Jerry Kapowitz|homeless man]] walking the street, looking for food. Luis bumps into him, spilling the trash. Luis will help him up and walk away, and during this the man's finds the pouch of diamonds - Bulgarin's diamonds. He then walks away laughing with joy.<br />
<br />
Tony will meet Luis and make amends, Tony reflecting on how he squandered his ambition to see the world by going to Algonquin, where '...the world came to me.' Luis still remains a little cynical, amused that two such different people have become so close. A little while later, Yusuf gatecrashes their reunion, still set on franchising Tony's clubs around the world. When Tony points out that his clubs are more about the people than the style, Yusuf dismisses him, stating '...piss on them!'<br />

}}<br />
The '''Swift''' is a 2 or 4-person shuttle-civilian helicopter featured in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'s second episode, [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. <br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The official website of The Ballad of Gay Tony describes the Swift as &quot;the preferred method of transport for Liberty City high-fliers&quot;, a &quot;turbo-shaft powered&quot; aircraft that &quot;shuttles its precious cargo in speed and comfort&quot;. While larger than the [[Maverick]], the Swift is, as implied, considerably speedier, with more powerful rotors and the ability to execute steeper rolls and pitches.<br />
<br />
The design of the helicopter is seemingly a cross between the [[wp:AgustaWestland AW109|AgustaWestland AW109]] and the [[wp:Bell 222|Bell 222/230]]. The general design is from the AgustaWestland; the helicopter borrows the Bell's engine scoop design and the design for the end of its tail; the additional turbo intakes and the winglets seem inspired from the fictional attack helicopter [[wp:Airwolf (helicopter)|Airwolf]], an advanced stealth helicopter (which is also a modified Bell 222 for [[wp:Airwolf|the 1984-1987 TV show of the same name]]).<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The Swift bears a &quot;SANTO CAPRO&quot; (roughly translates as &quot;Holy Goat&quot;) livery with an emblem resembling a Sea Goat (Capricorn). The same emblem can be seen on [[Yusuf Amir]]'s tracksuit jacket that he wears. Combined with the fact that he owns the helicopter, and wears the jacket, Santo Capro might be a company that the Amir estate runs.<br />
* The Swift can be good vehicle if you want to get 100% completion for the mission &quot;[[Bang Bang]]&quot; on your first go. After destroying the crane, get it from the West River Helipad and use it get to the airport (after destroying the [[Liberty City Subway ]]Train) instead of driving.<br />
<br />
== Locations ==<br />
* The Swift is usually available at the west [[Algonquin]] helipad near the [[West River]] from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, however due to a glitch the helicopter may not always spawn. After the completion of the game, the Gold [[Buzzard]] will begin to spawn instead at the helipad.<br />
<br />
* Swift with side doors closed ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSCWD5Q7Ygc video tutorial]):<br />
:From the &quot;Missions&quot; menu on Luis' phone, choose the mission &quot;[[Caught with your Pants Down]]&quot; and meet [[Yusuf Amir]] at Star Junction. Get in his helicopter and fly to any GTA IV/TLAD/TBOGT [[Safehouses|safehouse]] and land the helicopter in the parking space. Immediately kill Amir and blow yourself up with a hand grenade. The mission will fail, spawning you at the hospital. The Swift will now be at that current safehouse available to use.<br />
<br />
:Another Swift with side doors closed can be obtained by doing the club management mission featuring Bruce Spade. You can either complete the mission and keep the helicopter, or kill Bruce and fly away. Take to any of your safehouses to save. You can't, however, redo club missions after they are complete, so it's only available until all Club missions are done.<br />
<br />
* Swift with side doors open ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9dgZ0fwmtI video tutorial]):<br />
:From the &quot;missions&quot; menu on Luis's phone, select the mission &quot;[[...Blog This!]]&quot; and meet [[Gay Tony]] at the helipad. Immediately kill Gay Tony first and then [[The Celebinator]] (killing The Celebinator first will fail the mission and Tony will fly away). The mission will fail and you will now have a Swift at your disposal. Save it at any parking space to keep it.<br />
: ''Note: in the above cases, although technically you can park the Swift in any parking space, realistically it needs to be a parking space with sufficient room to not destroy the chopper or damage it (i.e. proximity to the building, power poles, trees, etc.). A good choice (as evidenced by the video walkthrough) is the [[Middle Park East Safehouse]].<br />
